Dear Spotcheck,
The reason the blood pressure can rise with the new Nardil is because it's not as effective as the old one. As I said, up til now, it was controlling my high blood pressure, as a positive side effect. For some people who had normal pressure, it made it too low. I don't know what happened with that lady you mentioned. She might have had a reaction while her body was adjusting to the Nardil and it made her pressure shoot up. In my case, I had what's know as REBOUND HYPERTEN SION, which could be very dangerous. You see, the new Nardil made it as if I were a person taking a medication for high blood pressure, and suddently stopped it. My arteries could have easily contracted to the point of giving me a sudden heart attack or a stroke. That's even more serious than rebound anxiety and depression, because I might not have had the time to increase the Nardil or switch medications. This is a criminal act by Pfizer, if it can be proven. I've been feeling like hell for the past 4 months or so, with migraine headaches, and every artery in my head and under my scalp swollen to the point that I had to hold my head most of the time. This was the result of the "new Nardil." I have no doubt about it. Even my medical doctor can vouch for my pressure being stable for years, til 4 months ago when it suddenly shot up. I just talked to my therapist on the phone, and he suggested I talk to Pam Zechman here in Chicago. I believe she's on ABC news. I can refer her to the two websites that discuss the nightmares of the new Nardil. An expose from her on a network TV channel could reach a lot of people, who til now might not know about the new Nardil affecting them negatively. They might think it's something strictly different with them. I'll check into it.
