In reply to Parnate and headache, posted by krisanon on September 22, 2004, at 21:06:10
Parnate can cause changes in BP, and high BP can cause headaches. Do you have a BP cuff at home? It's a good idea for all who are on MAOI's as there is the risk of a hypertensive (high BP) crisis with certain foods. If you develop a headache, you can check your BP right then to see if it is spiking.
Also, are you following the diet faithfully? It may be that you are ingesting enough tyramine in certain foods to elevate your BP.
Sorry you are having such pain.
