Well, I guess the best way to put it is when I stand up my body feels completely different than when I am sitting or resting. When I stand it just automatically jumps to anywhere between 100-120 for absolutely no reason. Actually, if I just stand in one place it tends to be even a little higher than if I'm walking. My normal hr is at least 30-50 bpm less than that while standing previously to this medicine. Some days the symptoms I feel are worse than other days, but again I can feel dizzy, have brain fog, memory problems (could be more due to ativan, I don't know), random aches and pains all over my body, very sluggish and weak legs, inablity to exert myself (running/working out), concentration greatly on this problem which makes evaluating my main issues anxiety with secondary depression very hard to do because my body feels so wrong when I'm standing. I have a doctor's appointment on monday, and will probably talke about florinef or a beta blocker. But if something doesn't "substantially" improve this situation, I will probably discontinue the nardil and try viibryd. I having been dealing with this for about 7 months with absolutely no improvement, I just want to feel normal physically again. I'm just scared of what going off of the nardil might do to my original anxiety/depression. Another question I had is about discontinuing Nardil. My p-doc really like nardil and has prescribed it about as much as anyone else in his career. He said I should just completely stop it at once, then wait the 2 weeks for viibryd. He acts like suddenly stopping wouldn't hurt me, but I never hear that about in psychotropic meds. What do you think?
