Nardil, SNRIs, tyramine, hypertension

Posted by Michael Bell on May 29, 2004, at 13:51:37

It's amazing to me that one of the best meds for SP is so hard to attain and stay on b/c of hypertensive risk. I'm not that knowledgeable about chemistry, but isn't there some kind of substance that someone can ingest to take over MAO's role of break down tyramine? Sort of like taking lactaid pills for people who can't break down lactic acid properly. Then someone on Nardil or Parnate can take that substance along with the MAOI to help prevent hypertensive crisis.
Moreover, I remember reading a study which concluded that since SNRIs (Reboxetine, Strattera) inhibit norepinephrine release, taking it with MAOIs may lessen the risk of hypertensive crisis. Does anyone have knowledge or personal experience with this combo?
