In reply to Parnate.........., posted by Tom Twilight on April 23, 2006, at 17:07:35
Hi Tom
As you are taking Parnate without a doctors prescription I would be especially careful of the drug and food interactions and of the dose you use. This is in case you develop a reaction that takes you to the Casualty Department.
I stopped taking it on the last occassion as I developed a hypertensive reaction after taking the entire days dose as a single dose in the morning in an attempt to reduce insomnia. The hospital were most unfriendly, thought I was trying to commit suicide, then thought it was migrane when I began to vomit. Then they tried to give me serotonin syndrome with an injection on Tramadol for the headache which I refused and they did not like that either.
Not trying to scare you but they sent me home with nothing for the headache or the high bp at 160/120 and I ended taking nifedipine I had in the house that worked within 15 minutes. I wish I had taken it in the first place rather than visit the hospital.
I suppose it was just another case of NHS house officers not having a clue.
Take care
James
