In reply to MAOI Alternative: Cymbalta Parkinson's drug?, posted by LizinManhattan on February 6, 2006, at 21:00:44
I started Parnate 2 months ago and having same problems as you...BP spikes without a catalyst. Also periodic depressive episodes....Had hope for it but the BP spikes are troubling even though it is of the mild variety. Good luck to you!
