45 mins. after taking my Parnate, my BP shot up to almost 200, but 15 mins later went back to the low 100's.
I'd definitely consult your Dr. prior to taking any medications and/or supplements w/ any MAOI.
From Medline Plus:
Headache, tremors, mania, or insomnia may occur if ginseng is combined with prescription anti-depressant drugs called monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs), such as isocarboxazid (Marplan®), phenelzine (Nardil®), and tranylcypromine (Parnate®).
