> 3 months??? How could you function? I've been staying at home since this started because I'm afraid I'm going to pass out in public. Just walking up my stairs makes me feel like I could pass out. But, I will hang in there and follow your suggestions. I just hope this passes soon.

But thats just my experience with NARDIL. I've only been on MARPLAN for just over 3 weeks so I'm ONLY GUESSING based on my experience with Nardil. This side effect may (HOPEFULLY) dissappear quicker than we both think.
Sorry if I scared you!
Did you know that some herbs can raise and/or 'normalize' blood pressure. http://www.itmonline.org/arts/hypertension.htm
I would definitely recommend giving Korean Ginseng a go, starting with a normal (not high) dose. Just read & follow the label.
