There is only a small minority for whom Parnate has proven "dangerous." I'll stick with my original stance on this medication. I've been taking it for 20+ years, am careful about what I eat and what medicines I take, and never once experienced high blood pressure.
I think you are applying your experience to
everyone else. Considering the risk is a hypertensive crisis that can be life threating
(far more than high blood pressure) I have a problem with making light of the restrictions
when you take some MAOI's.I am not down on MAOI's, they are very effective
treatments for me. However, I am part rat and cannot give up cheese and other aged products.
A challange produced a pronounced hypertensive crisis, for me.
