In reply to Creatine/Nitric Oxide Supplements while on Nardil?, posted by streetsk8er794 on November 11, 2008, at 2:08:09
> I've been on Nardil, Dextrostat, and Klonopin for about 6 weeks now, and it is literally the miracle cure for my OCD/ADHD/Social Phobia.
Dextrostat is an Adderall type drug, it def is contraindicated with Nardil, and could by itself easily cause a hypertensive crisis.
> I've gotten back into working out, and I take whey protein powder with absolutely no problems whatsoever. However, back in the day when I used to be a bodybuilder, I was taking Nitric Oxide with Creatine supplements. I have been using such a product called Dymatize Xpand for about 2 weeks with no problems either, regardless of the fact that it has L-Tyrosine listed as one of the ingredients.
Again, L-Tyrosine, contraindicated.
> I bought another such product called NO-Xplode by BSN, and used it once or twice. I "think" I might be feeling minor hypertensive crisis signs on it, but am not sure. My mouth is dry,
> I cant concentrate, heart is beating kind of fast, and I feel apathetic.
I am familiar with NO-Xplode, as several guys in my family have or do use it. My nephew had to stop becaused he was in an extremely aggravated/anxious state after an intense workout.
>
But, keep in mind that today was my day off of work, and I do not take my Dextrostat on my days off, so it very well be just stimulant withdrawal. It is so hard to tell with these damn meds.I hope you were okay this day.
> If anyone has any input, feel free to comment. Thank you so much.
I say this with complete concern for your safety; I feel you are headed for a hypertensive crisis.
I strongly suggest you discontinue all use of the Dextrostat/Adderal, the "NoXplode", and the L-Tyrosine product. You add a workout to these and you may have a problem soon. You may anyway.Please buy a BP cuff, so you know if your in trouble, you can get help, if you don't already have it, get a script called Nifedipine(antidote) or whatever your Doc likes, this will buy you some time if you are already in a crisis, the first sign for me, was a headache pounding in the back of my neck, spreading all over. Scale 1-10, it becomes a 10.
Did your PDoc go over this med and the restrics with you carefully? Are you following the diet, other than the Tyrosine you are already taking?
I would seriously go over with your Doc all that your taking with Nardil before you continue.
Hypertensive crisis is no fun and can be very dangerous.If you ever are treated, make SURE to tell them you are on an MAOI, before they give you anything. IMHO
Good Luck!
