>You who took or are taking an MAOI, are you given an antidote for hypertensive crisis like nifedipine to carry with you all the time (syringe/pill)? I mean, sometimes you can be pretty far from a hospital. How do you know when the blood pressure is getting dangerously high?
No, not in the UK. I asked for a packet of sublingual nifedipine tablets from my pdoc but he refused. He seemed to think it was an overly melodramatic gesture. I bought a reasonably priced self-inflating blood pressure cuff to check my own blood pressure.
