In a funny sort of way, yes :)

fucking sucks, doesnt it? ;]- eat more salt.

LOL... nope... not more salt, less medicine :)

Although it should be pointed out that I did take some salt in the immediate aftermath of the fainting, just to hold off recurrence until the meds work their way out of my system :)

yeah salt! i am a saltaholic. i get terrible headaches if i dont get enough salt.

if your blood pressure continues to be low after you get off the medications, consider caffeine or salt. the fainting, fatigue, etc is still there whether the low blood pressure is natural or medicine induced. lately its been occuring to me that my low blood pressure could be a contributing factor to my health profile. it also causes trouble with some drugs... my legs were always falling asleep on the blood thinners which the doctors denied could happen.(last time i didnt drink coffee i think i measured in at 90/68. my highest is around 120/80.)
