There is a doctor with the sight www.psychotropical.com.
He uses NRI's with parnate that supposedly help with hypotension and decrease the risk of a tyramine crisis.> Postural hypotension happens on parnate as well as nardil. I started taking parnate in the hospital and when they took my vital signs one morning, my BP was 80/50. After I got home, I got dizzy and fell a few times after lying down. The route to the bathroom from my bedroom is right by a flight of stairs, so my husband got a gate to close over the stairs at night in case I fell. That side effect did go away after a few months.

> I've never taken Nardil, but I can tell you that parnate is very stimulating. In fact, if I didn't take sleep aids, I will stay up for 48 hours at a time and not feel the least bit tired, just emotionally unstable from lack of sleep.

> But some people on this list seem to find parnate sedating. Which is weird. If you go to Rxlist, insomnia is the most common side effect.
