> Hi,
> I'm on 75mg of Nardil and I've experienced a sequence of varied side-effects pertaining to exercise. First off it was mainly hypotension related stuff e.g. dizziness, blinding white light, ringing in the ears and feeling half asleep. I have managed to control this (or it's diminished) by increasing my salt intake and liquid intake before exercise, to raise blood pressure.

> However, since about a month ago, my muscles feel like they are made of lead when I exercise. I have no power from the get-go and they are fairly achy and painful. I can run for about 3-4 minutes before the nerve/muscular aching in my legs, stomach and lower back becomes too painful. I have barely even increased my breathing rate at this point since I'm pretty fit.

The pooling can still be a factor even when exercising. I've heard others complain of leaden legs. While the pooling is the worst when laying or sitting it can also still exist to some extent while standing. Now that would affect the legs but not the rest of the body. I feel very achey from the hips down.
