Re: Had an MAOI hypertensive crisis? From what food?

Hi Kara,

I've been on Parnate since October, and I've had no problems whatsoever. In fact, I've had fewer side effects with Parnate then I did with MAOIs.

I think the odds of spontaneous hypertensive crises are so low as to make them almost unworthy of considering, if you're seriously depressed enough to be pondering an MAOI. As for food-induced crises, you can control what you eat, and, let me tell you, if you don't feel like giving up cheese for an MAOI, you probably aren't as depressed as I was before I started taking Parnate. For me, it was a no brainer. Yeah, I miss pizza once in awhile, but having a life was a fair trade.
