noradrenaline reuptake inhibitors tend to blunt vascular responses to tyramine, so i am wondering if that is involved--i wonder if wellbutrin maybe is making your blood vessels less responsive even than the Nardil would alone to postural changes in vascular tone? additionally, wellbutrin has a metabolite that is a nicotinic acetylcholine antagonist, and those tend also to give orthostatic hypotension (i am anorexic, so hypotension is already a problem, and on inversine it is even worse.)
