I've never fainted before, so it was very unusual for me. Luckily I was sitting down. The blindness lasted for several minutes, it started to pass and I could see outlines of things briefly but then it went black again. My internet search is what led me to the orthostatic hypotension conclusion and then I looked in my Emsam booklet and saw it there. So I was reassured to know that it's probably a side effect but I'm still scared and unsettled. I'm going to call my doctor tomorrow.
