> I am much better today. I went to see my wise old family doctor this morning. (He did a psychiatric residency at one point and prescribed Nardil a lot back then).
>
> He suggested that because I had had severe diarrhea for three days in a row, my fluids were depleted and that caused the sudden and abrupt drop in blood pressure.
>
> I didn't take any slep med last night. I didn't take the Trazadone to try and raise BP. But I am going to have to take trazadone. It does a lot more for me than act as a sleep aid. When I first started taking it, I noticed that a (wonderful) side effect was that it kept me from waking up scared. And I didn't take it last night and woke up this morning terrified. So I am going to go back on it.
>
> I am also returning to 45mg of Nardil. And I might reduce the Geodon from 80mg a day to 60. Not sure yet. I only took 20 last night instead of 40 and that may have contributed to my waking up so scared this morning. I think tonight I will take the full 100mg of trazadone and leave the Geodon at 20 instead of 40 and see what happens. if I wak up so scared again, I will know I need the 40 mg of Geodon at night.

> So for now I am back on the exact schedule of meds I was on before all this happened. I am trusting that my old doctor was right and the loss of fluids caused the severe hypotension.
>
> As far as waking up too early, that didn't happen last night. So maybe it was related to the low blood pressure. Who knows? We'll see what happens tonight.

> Thanks to all of you who responded.

When you lost all the fluids you became depleted of sodium and that caused the low blood pressure.
