Personally, I would make sure I 'somehow' obtained some sublingual nifedipine. Your pdoc is wrong to not give u a few samples to carry around with u, just like my pdoc was when I used to take phenelzine.
I was rushed to the A&E, explained to them as clearly as i could (whilst my head bagan to crack & lava bubbled away in my stomach), what was wrong, what I was taking and what I believe caused the reaction (lamb's liver). I was placed in a cubical on a bed with the curtain drawn round me and left unsupervised most of the time. Later as the effect wore off I discharged myself.
So I didn't die, but how were they to know that?
Yep! ER/A&E staff are simply not made aware of the danger- that or they are completely ignorant!
Parnate, from what I've heard, seems to have more chances of HC than other MAOIs. Even known to rarely give a spontaneous HC withought apparent cause.
If I ever go on tranylcypromine I'll make sure I get hold of some nifedipine somehow. In fact I should do NOW- I currently take an MAOI myselfIlls: Social Phobia, Major Depression, Addictive Personality
