In reply to High blood pressure on Selegiline!, posted by Amigan on March 22, 2008, at 12:08:38
> Hello.
> Has anyone noticed an increase on his blood pressure while he/she is on Selegiline?
> I do, although i'm not 100% sure that Selegiline is responsible for this, but it is the prime suspect. I only take a micro dose of Sulpiride with it, currently.
> I take 10-15mg orally. Although, dietary restriction is not nessecary at this dosage, i do avoid tyramine-rich foods, so the rise in my BP is not tyramine related.
> So.. I basically want to ask 2 things:
>
> a)Has anyone else experienced this?
>
> b) what is the best medical approach to treat Seleiline-induced hypertension?
> Ca-blockers?
> B-blockers?
> ACE inhibitors + a diuretic?
> Don't suggest clonidine, please. I know that it should be effective, but it also kind-of cancels the effect of Selegiline due the sedation it causes.
>Yes I've noticed an increase in BP on as little as 10 mg. Might be the amphetemine in it. Wonder if the liquid would be better as it has no amphetemine.
