NOTE: I did NOT say "no one should be taking parnate in higher than a single dose increment...(single 10mg tab)" I believe you have misread my post.FWIW, I take 30mg in the morning and another 20mg at noon...
I said not to take a high dose (i think it was 50mg) at one time-- as a single dose... my comments on hypertension were based on the specific reaction resulting from the single 50mg dose.
also, I assumed you DIDNT know a lot of the info on hypertension-- only because you seemed to be questioning the "uneasy feeling" and the "sweating", after consuming a single 50mg dose... and then stating that you were thinking about taking 60mg at once.
