Hi Rick. Congrats on getting your baseline BP down. Especially the weight loss - that's never easy (except right after you start taking Nardil, and get really depressed without the buffer of Nardil-induced sugar cravings - not that I would know).
You're definitely right that it's an individual thing. I can definitely feel it if my BP goes up to 160 - diastolic hardly ever has been as high as 110, but it went up to like 160/95 when I tried taking Dexedrine [5mg] with Parnate. My resting BP is around 100/60, typically, so 160/95 represents a significant increase.
>I had a friend who had readings of 200/120 in a routine doctor's visit, and he felt fine.
Hmm...he wasn't nervous, was he? ("White-coat hypertension.")
>BTW, my pdoc, who has been an MAOI expert for 20 years (so he claims, anyways), was surprised by the Nardil+low-dose Selegiline reaction, but not alarmed.
Whereas I was alarmed but not surprised? (How does one become an MAOI expert, anyway? Wonder if he's ever taken any of them? )
