It's interesting to hear how your Parnate caused a rise in your blood pressure on Sambuca. I too would not have guessed it as it is a clear drink. Is it possible that it was just a reaction to alcohol in general and not to Sambuca in particular? Did you measure your BP when taking other alcoholic drinks?-- snip --

I tried and tried with my GP and my psych-doc but neither would give me nifedipine. In the end I got myself some other med to rapidly lower BP if I need to. I would be interested to know if your doc prescribed it or if you got it yourself.
BTW how did you find aniracetam worked as a cognitive enhancer? Is it expensive?
