In reply to Nardil dizziness PLS Help!!, posted by Roslynn on September 7, 2012, at 10:40:44
> Hi, I am on my 8th day of 15mg, having horrible dizzy/lightheadedness. I am supposed to increase now to 30mg but I am so worried this will get even worse!
The hypotension might get worse. I would call your doctor to come up with an alternate treatment plan. Perhaps you should remain at 15 mg longer. Have you already tried Parnate? Marplan?
Florinef (fludrocortisone) is a drug that is given to people on Nardil to prevent hypotension.
I find that the hypotension that appears early in Parnate treatment disappears over time whereas that of Nardil persists, albeit becoming less severe. I would not be able to predict how you will react to continued treatment with Nardil. Most people do not experience hypotension so early.
