, I also wanted to ask you if the Parnate caused you to have on-going hypotension and whether or not you ever had a hypertensive crisis on it.
I'm resending this post since I had a problem with the server earlier.
I never had a hypertensive crisis. Hypotension with very low blood pressure was always a problem for the first week or two after I restarted Parnate, but my pdoc said not to worry about it. After the first couple of weeks, my blood pressure would stabilize and is usually pretty good at around 120/80. However, I always get lightheaded if I crouch down for about a minute (e.g. to look at books on the lower shelves in a bookstore) then stand up. The feeling passes after about a minute.
