In reply to orthostatic hypotension, posted by Waterlily on November 25, 2003, at 8:18:46
That's the word I was looking for :) Thanks for giving me the name for the dizziness/balance problems I use to experience with Wellbutrin.
Do you think that after 7 years the Wellbutrin has stopped working? I've heard from others about their AD losing it's effectiveness after a period of time. Hmmm... I wonder how long I have?
Could you tell me your experience with imipramine? If the Wellbutrin didn't work I was going to try imipramine. I know someone who has been taking it for 13 years for anxiety disorder along with Klonopin.
Thanks again!
> That dizziness/balance problem you're referring to is called orthostatic hypotension - where your blood pressure goes down temporarily while your body adjusts to standing up. My pdoc calls it 'orthostasis' and I used to have it with imipramine.
