> salt i don't think so,
sorry - which bit don't you think so?
but the renin/angiotensis changes might persist a bit longer, not sure though.
good shout, I am reading up on this stuff on Wiki, very interesting.
definatly drink lots of salty stuff right before/during exercise. probably avoid eating; blood to your gut will worsen things.

From the Nardil? Yes but only very mild compared to other meds I've been on. It's a very odd one - during the night I get up to pee about 6 times. Most strange.
