Hi Maxime.
> Hey Scott, why do you ask about the headache. Do you get it too from the Parnate?
No, but the only time my doctor tried going above 100mg of Parnate, the patient reported having headaches in the center of his head. That kind of spooked him such that he has been reluctant to try the same thing with me. Mind you, I have been at 120-150mg for months at a time. The only headache I ever had occurred at 60mg when I accidently ate some pepperoni. I experienced the tyramine headache which is experienced as a painful throbbing behind the head at the occiput (occipital headache). I was wondering if your headache was more similar to that of my doctor's previous patient or to mine. It sounds like yours was indeed similar to his previous patient. I don't know if it is a reflection of increased blood pressure. He never took it. Perhaps it was just a dilation of cerebral blood vessels as occurs with migraines.
