I had only 1 Hypertensive crisis while on Nardil and that was in the first 3 months of my treatment. It was caused by a big spoiled piece of chicken that I left on he fridge too much time.
After that mistake I live many years and I could say Nardil caused no problem with my way of eating>
> 1. Would you use 5 or 10 mg for treating hypertensive crisis? My pdoc told me to use 5 mg but i read that other use 10 mg!
>You need to buy an item to measure your bloodpressure .I dont remember the name in english . That its very important . Then you will know how your body is reacting to the 5mg dose
> 5. How do you, first of all those who already experienced BP-Crisis, feel a real hypertensive crisis?
>I ate my chicken and after one hour I started to feel an strong headache above the neck . This was increasing more and more after every minute . I was starting to breathe faster and feel a little dizzy . I could heard the beating of my heart
I realize a little bit late that I was suffering from the crisis so I ended up at the hospital with a 200/150 blood pressure. Not all the doctors here know what a MAOI is , so I suggested him to give me nifedipine . I Leave the hospital after 3 hours when my presurre was at a normal levelBuy yourself that stuff , its very useful . It helped me a lot when I was eating "wrong food" because if I started to feel a little headache , the first thing I used to do was to measure inmediately my BP . Sometimes I had headches but my BP was not more than 150/100 and I just stayed there with and go on with no med.
In fact I never had to use Nifedipine by myself , I never had other HP Crysis nor any accident and I ate most of the "forbidden food"
