In reply to HELP PLEASE! MAOI and high blood pressure, posted by FrequentFryer on September 3, 2008, at 4:43:48
> Hi.
> Im on 60mg of Phenelzine at the moment and I got my blood pressure checked @ the chemist & it was 180/95... (I hadn't eaten or taken any Tyramine or Adranergic things) I then saw my shrink but he didn't have much time to talk & he said "I wouldn't go to the gym right now if I was you." The next day (today) I saw a GP and my blood pressure was 160/80 and he said "your a hypocondriact go to the gym and stop worrying".

> What's your opinion?

> Is my Shrink just covering his own *ss or is the GP a spastic?
>
> Im a 25 year old male and Nardil hasn't given me BP problems in the past, dunno why it is now.

> Do some people take med's to lower their BP while on MAOI's or if the MAOI gives you high blood pressure (withought consuming Tyramine or any other Adranergic things) do they usually cease the MAOI?
>
> Nardil helps my mood quite allot so I wanna keep taking it. But I don't want to have a stroke either.

> *Any quality advice much appreciated*Any advice apreciated actually. I know there are allot of people on this board that are smarter then your average GP.
