And, before trying something that would require giving up my liverwurst sandwich, I would want to try to address the hypotension so that I could try desipramine again.I'm sure you were presented with the idea of using Florinef (fludrocortisone) to raise your blood pressure. I never really researched the matter too far. What are your thoughts on it?
I'm very glad you are so clear on what you want for yourself right now. Your sense of direction is reassuring.
