I am a bit confused by these postings. I had taken Nardil at one time, and never experienced any of these symptoms. I thought the greater danger with the MAOIs was avoiding foods that contained tyramine which could cause the opposite effect of what has been described in these posts - dangerously high blood pressure.
I had taken amitriptyline in the past (a tricyclic) and did have the dizziness if standing too quickly, but I don't remember this symptom when being on Nardil. The diet was a real pain though.
