I've often felt that my various symptoms on Nardil and tricylics were at least partly from low blood pressure. However, I felt the attack coming on while seated.
I had a common headache with no throbbing or pulsing.
I tried imipramine not long before I tried clomipramine. Imipramine had similar effects to clomipramine and Nardil - dilated eyes, sick feeling, swaying/not standing still, face drained of color, hazy feeling, difficulty concentrating. These old school drugs seem kind of similar. One day I was walking while I was on imipramine and the effects were much worse, and it was hard to get home. I told my doctor about this, and she had me stop it.
She had me stop the clomipramine after I told her about the "attack." The clomipramine attack gave me blurred vision and a blacking out feeling, and I did not hyperventilate. However, the Nardil attack yesterday made me hyperventilate (it was terrifying), but I did not get blurred vision.
Yes, my side effects have been extreme, and I'm sure I need to stop Nardil. I haven't had any luck with meds over the years.
I do take Ativan and Xanax as needed, no more than 2-3 times a week. I would just stick with that for now. I'm sure I should stop Nardil. And I don't want to try any more meds for now.
