Nardil and Exercise/BP

Posted by maddog on October 10, 2004, at 1:21:13

Hi Everyone,

I have been taking Nardil now for about 9 weeks. It works well but I it has severely impacted my exercise routine.

My normal blood pressure is low, 90/60. With Nardil, as I begin to exercise I feel extremely weak and sometimes faint. I used to be able to run 4-5 miles with no problem. Now it is a real struggle to get to 2 miles.

Anyone else experience this?

thanks,
maddog

My normal BP is closer to 140/90, and I still had problems with the decreased BP and heartrate on Nardil. I had real troubles getting going, especially if I started too fast, but I was able to run my regular routes, even a record (for me) of 10 miles one day. The Nardil was helpful in one respect in that it often made me feel cold, which seemed to help my endurance in warm weather, but in any event, I did not seem to have the cardiovascular output or overall efficiency to run as fast as I normally can. The weird weakness you describe I would generally only feel in the first quarter mile, but you may run faster than I do.

I experienced this fatigue you mention ,specially with a dosage from 60mg and further
I couldn´t run the same quantity of time as when I was on a lower dose .
if u feel that this is annoying you a lot, maybe you can dow your dose , but it depends on you , at wich dose you feel better in terms of depression and anxiety
