Hi:
I accidentally ate smoked salmon when I first started on Parnate (I was on 30 mg at the time). A few hours later, like a lightbulb switching on, I thought "Oh, sh**, I wasn't supposed to eat that!" Nothing happened, but I wouldn't try it again.I'm still quite scared to try any cheese and don't plan to do so in the near future, especially since I've already had a lot of BP problems.
Interestingly, the spontaneous hypertension I was having after a dose (unrelated to food) seems to be getting better. We've gone up on my dose very gradually- I've just started 70 mg this week. Sleep is a nightmare (pun intended)- Trazadone helps a bit, but leaves me feeling washed out the next day. Sonata did nothing for my sleep. I have a bit of dizziness sometimes when I stand too quickly, but not troublesome and otherwise very few side effects so far. I haven't noticed much benefit yet, though. If anything, I feel more withdrawn and antisocial, though more content and less depressed about being alone, if that makes sense.
