In reply to Nardil and falls, posted by ChicagoKat on July 30, 2012, at 17:11:47

Hi Kat,
Did you fall shortly after getting up from a sitting or lying position? Sounds like orthostatic hypotension to me. This is a common side effect of Nardil. Your blood pressure decreases on standing, sometimes low enough to make you pass out. It gets better with time, usually. Or, it can be medicated. I'm sorry your Dr. took you off of a working medication for this. Sometimes these drugs that work are few and far between.
Good Luck,
Jedi
