Many people do not have H/T crisis while using MAO's. Much information on the internet and in books will tell you it is rare aslong as you stick to the diet (which isn't hard).Fortunately when I have cheated the diet a few times I never had an episode or headache. Your doctor can prescribe you a pill to lower your blood pressure if you ever did have a crisis. I am going to ask mine about it next time I visit him.
good luck
