> Do you mind if I ask you if you've had any hypertensive crises on Parnate? I would think it would be very difficult to follow the diet while living in Thailand.

I've never had a hypertensive crisis because I've always been quite careful. As for your question on Thai food, it is very difficult to find (good) cheese here since Asians generally do not eat or like cheese. Thre are plenty of soy products around, but since I never had any desire to eat them, this is not an issue with me. None of the foods in the typical Thai diet are on the MAOI limitation list (except for soy extracts, or whatever it is they eat from soy).

> Also, regarding an earlier conversation we had about purchasing Parnate from Costco, are you certain that they make you buy really large quantities? If you go to their website, they quote prices for 30 or 50 or 100 (10 mg.) pills.

No maybe you misunderstood or I wasn't clear on this. It is *I* who always buys the large quantities, like 1000 pills at a time, for a one-year-supply to bring back here. I've never been a Costco member or any of the other companies like it. I guess it doesn't pay to be a member of Costco, if I visit the U.S. for only 1 or 2 weeks a year, don't you think?

The only break in price that I can get is from Walgreens, at about 11% off their regular price, because of my age. It is applicable to customers in Arizona, and I simply use my mother's address. I don't know how Walgreens bottom line would compare to Costco.
