This sounds like it may be caused by a rise or fall in blood pressure. Does it occur when you move your head or body position? I think it has something to do with the effects of the drug on the vagus nerve. Is the medication an MAOi or a neuroleptic? Did you recently start this medicine? Do you ever feel faint or dizzy when this happens? What about headaches? I am a psychiatric nurse and I've heard many descriptions of side effects. I'm always interested in hearing about these experiences. CAROLE
