> But I would not discontinue an MAOI because of this problem. Just try some salt tablets from the drug store. "Thermotabs" is the brand I recall seeing. A few of those each day will increase your blood volume, plus put some much-needed potassium into your diet. But get them now, while it's hot outside. In the winter, the stores usually don't stock them.

Thanks for that suggestion. I am having trouble with low blood pressure caused by Emsam (light-headedness, dizziness, darkened vision, headache, etc.) My doctor suggested drinking lots of water & eating salty foods. I'll go get some salt tablets.Anyone have any other suggestions for dealing with low blood pressure, please let me know.
Thanks!
