Spontaneous paroxysmal hypertension (i.e., hypertensive crises not associated with food-drug interactions). I had to take it in small divided doses, which pretty much limited me to 30mg since it's also not good to take at night (I avoided taking it after 5pm whenever possible).
I stopped taking it about a week ago, BTW; now on 25mg nortriptyline, planning to increase that and add Marplan.
