In reply to Nardil - Blood Pressure Increase after Taking Dose, posted by reflecting on November 23, 2011, at 3:35:01
I don't take Nardil, but I take another MAOi Parnate. I frequenly experience a spike in my blood pressure, usually rising into the 150;90 range within an hour of taking a dose. It tends to not occur if I take 20mg at a time instead of 30mg and/or if I take it with food.
I read a research article that showed an effective way to avoid this was to supplement with a calcium channel antihypertensive medication, in that case Norvasc.
