In reply to PARNATE vs MARTY, posted by MARTY on April 23, 2006, at 0:04:24
Just Googled Parnate and early hypertension. Read a few articles that said high bp when starting Parnate is normal, said high is normal and do not be overly concerned because it will pass and then you actually will probably experience hypotension. For hypotension increasind salt intake is helpful.
I thought this was normal, but obviously 246 is not! Hmmmmm...maybe keep an eye on it, but accept that 180-190 is probably going to happen..it's just temporary and you won't stroke out at this reading. Over 200, yes i would become concerned. Anyway, i hope this helps some, and i don't think you are stupid to continue Parnate...Scott's advice below makes a lot of sense also. What do you think?
