> DeniseSome years ago when I had MDD, I had some neuro. symptoms (droopy rt. eye, rt. side head pressure, and others). Dr. ordered beam scan which showed some abnormalities in my right temporal lobe, and other brain areas. therefore I was given Tegretol in addition to Parnate.
Recently I was told that my physical symptoms were due to my recent Dep. episode. I found out I have POTS (postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome), a type of dysautonomia. Neuro. said it's mild, but Florinef and atenolol and increased salt intake have helped. Neuro. said I might want to get PET scan.
Point: A lot of other conditions can cause physical symptoms while you have Dep.., besides Dep. Just because you have Dep., doesn't mean you can't have other physical problems.
