> I will always elect to take the smallest possible dosage of any med, as I have always had extreme sensitivity to meds and I believe many of my failures with drug trials (1989-2007) were due to being given standard manufacturer doses, which caused severe side effects.

Go with what works.

> At higher doses Of Nardil I have had peripheral edema

Not uncommon, unfortunately.

> This weekend I'm having a new side effect, hypertension, which I've never had in my life, wondering if it might be related to Nardil and Lithium combo. Do you know anything about that????

I have not heard of a hypertensive reaction to the combination of Nardil and lithium. No citations appeared on PubMed (Medline) when I performed searches.

What is your BP? What other side effects are you experiencing?
