In reply to Nardil edema...remedies???, posted by gardenergirl on September 1, 2004, at 18:56:50
I've heard that a diuretic is used sometimes, but can be tricky because of increased hypotension.
I had never heard of any of your solutions to MAOI edema! Do you have any other solutions? Salt I knew about, but not caffeine. I'll have to cut back. I'm worried that Parnate will have this side effect for me. Nardil certainly did, even at lower doses.
Good luck --
