Unfortunitely my friend, you're gonna be stuck with this dizziness (low blood pressure) for a good while. But it WILL go eventually. When I took Nardil & reached 60mg+ I had this side effect for a good 3 months then it dissappeared, never to return.

I think Marplan has a very short half-life - just a few hours. But of course you've been on it for many weeks so it would have accumilated. But even if you stopped it completely these side effects would probably last a few days anyway.
If I were you I'd stick on 35mg & wait. Then increase maybe 5mg every 2 weeks. But then I'm not you.

Have you increased your salt intake yet? Make sure its SODIUM salt & not a potassium substitute otherwise it wont work. And what about the other suggestions? It may take a while for these to work - the sodium may need to build up in your system. AND GET A BLOOD PRESSURE MONITOR - then you can see EXACTLY whats going on!
