Wow!!! They are finally coming out with the patch! I had given up on it; I remember there was talk about it about 10 years ago all ready... Thank you SO MUCH for bringing this to my attention. It seems there's some squabbling about whether or not the patch should have to carry warning labels about diet. The FDA seems satisfied that the 20 mg is fine without the warnings but not the higher doses.

While Parnate has been my life saver for the past 7 and a half years I can't handle the stress of uncontrolled BP spikes.
