In reply to Imipramine.. damn hypotension, posted by mav27 on February 21, 2009, at 0:49:24
> Iam serously getting sick of this problem.. every med i've tried that has actually had good results also causes such severe hypotension that it makes it hard to stay standing up for long. First it was nardil and parnate.. they made me faint. Went on to prozac and it lowered my blood pressure and also made me agitated so i switched to imipramine and it works but it is also making my blood pressure drop and my pule is so weak i can't feel it when im standing (my blood pressure monitor also can't get a ready on rate or pressure when im standing)

I hope it dissipates over time.
