OTC salt tablets have helped with the dizziness effects caused by Nardil. I'm not sure if its a blood pressure thing (as salt tends to raise blood pressure) or a blood-sugar issue, or maybe both, but they are effective whatever the case.

Glad they work. Sounds like you're on "targer" with the salt theory and BP. Fondly, Phillipa

Good thinking!
When I started on Nardil and reached full dose, blood pressure problems were so bad that whilst walking I could barely see where I was going because of the dizziness. Fainted a few times also!
Fear not though. I,ve been on 75mg for 14 months now and have had NO side effect for at least 6 months. They simply fade away with time.
Also, it wont be a blood sugar issue. I have Insulin dependent Diabetes and test my blood glucose regularly and found Nardil to have no direct effect on my blood sugar at all.
One tip: take 100mg vitamin B6 each day just to be safe as Nardil can deplete/effect this essential nutrient. Take away from the Nardil.
Kev.
