> I just want to say how much I empathize with your feelings. I know that I cannot offer a solution, but I hate, hate, hate the whole guinea pig part of taking these drugs. And, I, like you (it seems from your descriptions), am a pretty health/exercise-oriented person. So, that, in itself, makes it all the more ironic/galling that we have to take these often toxic medications to deal with our anxiety and/or depression. I'm still going to hope and pray that these POTS symptoms just decrease for you over time. Keep everyone posted.

> ChrisI really, realliy appreciate your thoughts, as I am going through something now different than the usual black holes. That is the crazy part. I was so sure I would crash almost immediately upon discontinuing Nardil (especially since I did it cold turkey) But now, instead of the usual anxiety/depression (which are still there at some level but much more managable) I am just left with pure rage every day. The really disappointing part is that after being off of Nardil for 4 days I was experiencing only the traditional headaches, brain fog, vivid dreams, etc. All things I have experienced before and know will go away with enough time. However, the hr issue actually has gotten worse over the past three days where upon standing my hr will go from 60-65 to 135-140. I try to hang in there, but honestly I can't. I'm so sickened by all the random, unexplained garbage that comes and goes through all these drug trials that all I can do is try to make myself walk for as long as I can once a day. And basically just exist in a state of pure anger for the rest of the day, just praying that the day will come when things get better.
