In reply to MAOI and hypotension?!, posted by Ted Brosnan on November 2, 2004, at 12:40:06
> Hello. I am just wondering whether the hypotension associated with the MAOIs is serious? I mean do you feal dizziness and weakness all day round?!
>
> Is it only postural hypotension or general one?
>
> I am considering a MAOI for my Avoidant Personality Disorder. I have severe social anxiety. Is it true that Parnate is more useful and more energizing/stimulating, but then wont this make my social anxiety worse?!
>
> I just don't want to go all day round feeling tired and zombie esp since I am attending college. I just don't want compromise my mental functioning. Can they interfere with my studies?!
>
> Thanks mates,
> TedTed it's hard to say, I am sure people react differently to MAOi's. I never felt like a zombie on Nardil. I did have some dizziness, but only after laying down for a period of time. I am glad to say most if not all of the side effects eventually went away. Even anorgasmia :)
