>I had hypertensive reactions to balsalmic vinegar and tylenol when I was on Nardil.
I don't know about balsamic vinegar but there are no reported hypertensive crises to plain paracetamol/acetaminophen (Tylenol) and MAOIs. I took it myself often while taking Parnate and had no problems. Some people do develop hypertension after taking Tylenol and other OTC painkillers, maybe that's what you were observing rather than a mild hypertensive crisis?

They certainly can - it's advisable to have at least a benzo at hand during MAOI withdrawal.
