Lorraine -- I had spontaneous hypertensive episodes (not related to food or drug interactions) on Parnate, but the only times I had any kind of headache on it were about half an hour after each dose, when my blood pressure peaked. (As a general rule, I don't get headaches except occasionally if I'm congested.)
Waking up in the morning with a headache sounds like a rebound thing, or maybe something related to nonrestful sleep. Have you tried checking your blood pressure when you first wake up, before taking the Parnate?
