I'm on Nardil and my Pdoc refused (3 times) to prescribe me an 'antidote' for Hypertension. She doesn't even want to give me Thirozine(!?) She said she consult the other Pdocs of the clinic and have been tell that it could be dangerous and discourage the patient to go to the hospital thinking he's safe with his antidote.What do you think of that ? I have the feeling it's a 'convention' in Canada not to give antidote with MAOI.. I find this stupid and dangerous; there is numerous highly respected literature that recommend the prescription of an antihypertensive.. heard of Merck Manual ? can't believe that.
Is there anything I could find that could help ? is there something I could ask her for X reason but that would be good as an antihypertensive ?
