Hi that guy, sounds like your going to do it so be careful!! It sounded like you had little experience with Nardil, (105mg dose, etc.). Just be careful with those stims please!
Also, one thing I can answer with certainty: You CAN go fron hypotention to hypertention in a fairly short amount of time. I had been treating hypotention with hydration, salt tabs, Gatorade for elecrolites. Had low BP late one night, as usual, woke to hypertensive crisis, last I remember, systolic 190 and rising. 911,hospital, the whole bit. No fun. Won't even try to describe the headache.
I'm not trying to scare you, I'm still on Parnate!!! Just trying to scare you enough to be really careful!! I suggest again being prepared with a BPcuff, Antidote like Nifedipine, and you'll know hypertentsive crisis by headache: all over with more pain in back of neck and unrelenting pounding. I think its similar for most people. Don't wait to pop antidote if you think thats whats happening. I wish my Pdoc had been more informitive about possibilities. Like you, almost fainted on more than one occasion from low BP. Its a srange mixed bag, but boy they work, huh?
Good luck, and pass on your experience, will you?
Cheers! Jade
