hi there.
im really struggling with the nardil and if i should stay on it. i have a history of addiction so self control is not my strong suit but i can follow directions for the most part and my doc seems to think i can make proper judgements and trusts me with the nardil. HOWEVER...i feel like i keep getting wacked with high BP from this med.i end up in the ER yesterday. so today i vow to be more careful. after going to dinner, i ordered a burrito. hold the sour cream and cheese i say. i get the burrito and wolf it down and realize it has guacomole in it and the diet coke im drinking with it has caffeine. within several minutes, maybe 30 or so, i feel the same symptoms that sent me to the ER just less severe. the symptoms calm down and i come home and check my BP about 3 hours later. its 145/100 which is kind of normal for me. my BP was 140/90 before i took the nardil.
the burrito had what, aged avocado and maybe the rice was cooked in chicken broth that had some yeast in the boullion cube and the diet coke had caffeine. but either im really sensitive to tyramine reactions, or im causing myself to freak out due to anxiety.
i eat out once per day on average, a burrito or breakfast at a restaurant is not unusual for me, neither is a slice of pizza...all of which seem like they would be normal.
i want to give this med a shot, its only been 2 weeks...and i think i can do it but it seems to be very hard for me and its frustrating. i dont want to have a stroke over not being able to follow directions.
