Be careful with the nifedipine. I spent a night in the hospital once because the tyramine reaction I had, went away faster than the BP lowering effect of the nifedipine. I would think about going with 5mg capsules, then you can add more if 5mg is not enough.I remember back to when that reaction happened, shortly after I started high dosage Nardil. I had a splitting headache and I knew I had screwed up. I came very close to taking another of the 10mg capsules before I got to the ER. That probably would have killed me. I believe a lot more people die from low blood pressure than high blood pressure.
If you are going to take MAOIs, I believe that you have to reach another level in educating yourself about the medication. So many MDs, pharmacists, and emergency personnel know so very little about the drugs. Many doctors will no longer prescribe nifedipine because of the problem I outlined above.
Take care,
