My new pdoc added lithium to augment. Nardil just wasn't getting all the depression, but going higher than 67.5 mg was intolerable for me as it gave me severe insomnia and akathisia. It's been a godsend. I've finally hit the depression-free mark, though I've had a couple brief episodes that were manageable.
I think you're wise to go with natural remedies first. I was actually surprised my GP gave me Lasix, and I usually didn't take it more than a time or two a month. That prescription lasted forever, and I don't know that it was really worth it. And given your hypotension, you're right, it would be more risk than probably benefit.
So you're not getting urinary retention?
Take care,
