Pseudoephedrine, ephedrine, PPA, etc. <-- DANGER
Psychostimulants such as d-amphetamine and d-methamphetamine are much safer. Avoid racemic psychostimulants if you can (Adderall/Vyvanse).
D-methamphetamine is the safest because it has the highest ratio of central to peripheral effect.
Beware DXM (Robitussin) and meperidine (Demerol).
Seriously. Ic you want to wear a bracelet, make sure it mentions Demerol!IIRC the treatment of choice is IV phentolamine. I've been given chlorpromazine or clonidine to carry around; doctor didn't want to use nifedipine. These days, I don't carry around anything.
It's important that you and your doctor are on the same page about this. The chance of a tyramine-induced hypertensive crisis is low but far from 0.
Dentist was probably using epinephrine.
