In reply to Prescribed nifedipine with MAOI! Find a new p-doc?, posted by nix on November 21, 2013, at 0:15:09
Nix,
It is fairly customary for pdocs to prescribe nifedipine with an MAOi. My pdocs have done so. I have only had a tyramine reaction once. The "danger" is in nifedipine making blood pressure too low. Knowing this, when I had the reaction, I bit into a nifedipine cspsule and consumed only half of the contents. My blood pressure eventually reached normal.
Anyway, don't count out your doctor just yet!
