i was wondering if your hypotension has resolved yet?

i am having some problems with this too (started fainting after getting to 30mg of parnate on week three). went back down to 20mg.

in addition, dr says to increase salt intake, stay hydrated (drink a lot of gatorade, which is salty), and he has presribed .1mg fludrocortisone acetate (flornef) in the morning. i am hoping not to have cut down to 10mg because i'm not getting much of an AD effect yet.

i wouldn't worry about suddenly developing hypertension, i think that is very rare, and different from getting the hypertensive crises (also rare, esp if you're following the diet). i find it strange that your doctor didn't stress the diet, at the very least no aged cheeses? is it is because you are getting such extreme hypotension?

my dr. took my bp while laying down (100/70) and then tried to take it after i stood up but could only get the systolic (80), the diastolic was too low to read.

have you been able to take more than 15mg yet?
