It all start when I tried Nardil, weird sensation in the head, like I was to have a seizure or something. Then I took Parnate and did some spontaneous hypertensive crisis (up into the 200-230 range, not sure of the medical equipment, so lets put it at 215). Then I tried Manerix/Aurorix (Moclobemide), a RIMA (Reversible Inhibitor of the Monoamines Oxidase), a revesible IMAO like Nardil and Parnate which isn't well know here because it isn't available in USA but is in Canada. Then, without anormal blood pressure, I started to have big intracranial blood pressure. I stopped Manerix after 3 days becauses I had too much side-effects.

I would,there are pesky side effects to drugs that people hold off on till they deem its time to bite the bullet and check it out,i.e some sexual dysfunction,perhaps diahera etc......But cranial pressure,id say thats warrent for a visit,i felt cranial pressure when i had the parnate interaction the day after my ER stay for my appendix removal,there i had demerol and a mixture of a few other anesthics,i was assured over and over again i could re-start parnate on going home,so i did even though i disagreed with the docters.
Well upon getting home and dosing parnate,my head felt the way u described.I spent two days being generous with benzos and of course halting maois period,and it went away.It contiuning in ur case id check it out.
I myself have complained here of a feeling inside my ear,not anywhere u can urself get to by cleaning,or a doc with simple cleaning,but inner inner,like behind my ear,its very strange and appears a lot latly,when i was recently in ER about klonopin W/D i mentioned this to my doc and he looked at me like everything,me asking for klonopin,my illness all of it were phony and made some sort of facial gesture and looked in with his little light,told me its nothing,way to go doc now i feel secure.Man in a different age id taken that light and,well anyway are u on a maoi now at all?
