Yes, I definitely agree with that. If you get hypertensive reactions on a regular basis or get them randomly from the MAOI alone (this occurs much more often with Parnate than Nardil, but still not sure how frequent it is with Parnate), you should definitely tell your dr.

> Sounds like questionmark and I had identical experience at ER. The answer here is to get antidote like Nifedipine. My crisis wasn't due to stupidity, (hah, sorry Q), so I really had no choice but to tell PDoc as I kept having them. He said if I call him with so much as a headache, he'll take me off it. NOOOOOOO!! haha

Just take antidote if you have a crisis, you'll know, believe me. If they continue on regular basis, I think you should tell PDoc. My brain is still a little fuzzy from that morn. Slowly going away though!
