Of course you would be aware of all the listed foods which possibly result in hypertensive attacks while on Parnate. The list packaged with the medication is incomplete I believe. Lots of info here: < http://www.dr-bob.org/cgi-bin/pb/mget.pl?post=/babble/20020709/msgs/112604.html >
But why your BP is still up - ??. If you are regularly eating one of the offending foods it may be possible that the remaining traces of Parnate could be causing a continuing interaction(?). A reduction in the diameter of the cardio vascular system members is the reaction.(The regular small dose aspirin method of guarding the BP may be useful. Always taken with food.)
I found chocolate in large quantity IS a possible danger with Parnate. It is not commonly known or acknowledged. It put me in the cardiac ward. Age and anxiety/stress also add to those factors. It is not recommended for over 65's. Me.
