hi all-
back here again. back in therapy again too and have
made decision to try an MAOI as a last resort. the plan
is to begin parnate on 10/20. i've read a lot here and
other places about the diet and consequences but have
a few questions.should i have kidney & liver function tests done prior to using parnate? i had hepatitus 30 yrs ago and have had chronic kidney infections since i was a child.
has anyone had a problem with local (dental) anesthetics while taking parnate?
coffee. i drink 3 or 4 20oz coffees a day. will i have to quit all caffein? i know i have to quit the ritalin, but the caffein & ritalin combination has been the thing that's enabled me to keep my butt out of bed all day.
mj. any interaction? the cautions on parnate say any cns depressant effect will be magnified. my pulse & bp seem to usually increase with mj. is that a problem?
what do you do if you realize that you have just inadvertantly ingested a restricted food or beverage? force yourself to upchuck? wait & see if anything happens? go to the er?
i will be greatful for any other advice.
thanks-
hb
