That's too bad. It is generally safe to do this, provided that you start with a low dosage and, perhaps, monitor blood pressure immediately after the first dose. However, in your case, it might lead to a worsening of your untoward reaction to Parnate.

Without more information, I would say that this is a legitimate concern.
