> >What types of side effects did you have with Nardil? I am very anxious about taking an MAOI, but I feel it is my last hope. Feeling very scared about the risk of stroke etc. as I have a young disabled child to care for. Thanks for your post and any more info.

Hypertensive crisis is rare, stroke in connection to hypertensive crisis is nearly unheard of....hypertensive crisis presents itself in a series of symptoms, similar to a syndrome (kind-of like how serotonin syndrome is a set of symptoms) You would experience heart palpitations, angina, severe headache, fever and sweating, stiff neck, nausea, and various other symptoms indicitive of high blood pressure. If left untreated, a very high blood pressure can cause intracranial bleeding.

If I was to spontaneously have *any* of the above symptoms, I would go to the hospital, or would take the appropriate measures to get my blood pressure down (medication your Dr. would provide you in emergency)...luckily, I have never had to do so.
