I think you can get salt tablets at your pharmacy. I've read the recommended amount is 600-1800 mg twice per day for about 8 weeks, for MAOI-induced hypotension. Perhaps that would be more convenient than drinking salt water. Of course you would want to talk to your doctor about it, drink plenty of liquids, and monitor your blood pressure.
I have heard that sleeping with your head higher than your feet may help. Have also heard there are support hose that can be purchased that may also help with the hypotension.
I am also on Nardil since February 28 - now at 75 mg having titrated up very slowly. I am not having to deal with hypotension (at least not yet :).
I hope this passes for you.
Best regards,
Tom
