That thought hit me when I first read GG's post, but once I read yours, too, I have to ask: could your blood pressure be falling? I've read that hypotension can be a real problem on Nardil, and what you've described sounds a lot like what I experience with hypotension.
Now, I've got naturally low blood pressure, which runs in my family, but mine is especially problematic. As well as the normal-for-me low BP, mine will occassionally just -- fall. Generally, I know the things that can bring it on: sitting in one place for a longish time, standing in one place for a longish time without a lot of movement (one reason I look like a fidgety kid a lot: when I start to feel it, I'll start tensing my leg muscles to try to get my blood moving again), driving longish periods, etc. Climbing stairs when this is happening can definitely bring it on, and -- I love this part -- certain types of stresses will drop my BP pretty dramatically. (I know, stress is supposed to ELEVATE blood pressure -- guess I just gotta be different...)
So, could it be low blood pressure that's causing your symptoms?
Other than that, I ain't got no clue. But I do wish you all the best luck in tracking it down and getting it fixed.
My best to you both
