Rich,
I had the same concerns about MAOIs & BP (see my post). Docs, especially the younger ones, are very reluctant to prescribe the older MAOIs. To date (2yrs+) I have had no BP problems & no hypertensive crisis. The diet is not that restrictive & I've found that I can eat most of the prohibited items in small quantities without consequence. ******I'm NOT advising anyone to do this***** I do stay away from a few foods totally because of what I've read.Your K dosage is low. You should have no problem if you need to stop using it.
Good Luck & Have a Great New Year
