Jedi, I took 10 mg Nifedipine and almost took a second dose of it since the BP was not resolving as rapidly as I would have expected it to. I held off since I knew that if I did that, the reaction may have put me in the hospital, so I waited instead. I did not intend to go to the hospital depite my low BP since I was alert and could still take my BP and tell my husband what to do if I got worse. MY usual BP is 80-90/50-60, so low is relative to me.
The dilemma I am in now is deciding to stay on Nardil or switch to something else since I believe I need a stimulant since I do have ADD symptoms along with the depressive symptoms.
Thanks for your concern with my reaction. I had another reaction once before but without the elevation of the BP I just had. IT definately scared me into thinking perhaps another AD may be a better solution. I'm only on Nardil now and have stopped wellbutrin and Abilify until I see my pdoc and discuss next med choices.
