djmmm,
Thanks for posting your experiences with PEA and MAOIs.
What daily dosage of Nardil were you taking when you added PEA and had a hypertensive crisis?
How much PEA did you take with your Nardil dosage?
Do you remember the brand name of the PEA you took?
The only capsule size that I have found on-line is 250 mg. This is what I bought and tried, and it is an excellent brand of PEA. But obviously, 250 mg is WAY TOO MUCH to take with a full dosage of Nardil. This makes it difficult to accurately measure the proper PEA dose.
What method did you use to measure out your dosage sizes?
Here is the PEA product that I bought and safely used:

Thanks djmmm!
