> I don't suggest doing this yourself, I may just be a particular case. I've even gotten away with eating anything I'd like without hypertension crisis. Although I really do think that there's been un-nessasary scare for those wanting to try MAOIs, or already on them over hypertension and 5HT syndrome.
Because of my personal experiences with both Parnate and Nardil, I would recommend to anyone taking these drugs to have a healthy respect for the potential for them to induce both hypertensive crises and serotonin syndrome. While taking Parnate 60mg + desipramine 150mg, I experienced the pounding occipital headache associated with a tyramine reaction after accidently eating 1 1/2 slices of thinly-cut pepperoni on a pizza. Cheese pizza without meat toppings has never been a problem for me. I experienced a serotonin syndrome delirium after taking a 37.5mg dose of Effexor that lasted for well over an hour. I experienced a serotonin syndrome dystonia while taking Nardil 60mg + imipramine 300mg. It resolved upon the discontinuation of imipramine.
