I've never been on Parnate, but all the antidepressants AND antipsychotics have messed with my vital signs. I will either get high blood pressure or tachycardia. I have had blood pressure as high as yours from an antidepressant. Of course, the pdoc tells me "that is an unknown entity".....that all these different classes of meds can't cause such problems. Hmmmm......I wonder how she justifies the excessively increased vital signs??
What worked for me was a beta blocker. I take Inderal LA 80mg, once in the morning and once in the evening. This keeps my vital signs steady, and I now can take antidepressants. You may want to suggest something along this line to your doc when you see her next.
Good luck!
God bless,
Sandra
