> 4-5 days on PARNATE and it hit me...not subtle. I was myself again after two years of trd/atyp depression. I felt normal/happy. 11 days in, hypertensive crisis (scary). I've read alot of Elizabeth's posts. Like hers, mine was completely spontanious. I'm anal about the diet. Every day after that, spike in BP(190)& headache after every dose.

> How frustrating! Anyway, thought I'd share. I'm back on it, with Nifedipine daily, feeling good.

> Questions:
> 1.Nifedipine daily ok? 10mg
> 2.Early response just a "high"? Or quick response good sign?
> 3. Any others have unprovoked hypertension (sudden spike in BP, crazy headache, etc.?)
> 4. Pdoc started me at Parnate/30mg in one morn dose. Any thoughts on that?

> PS-If anyone reads this, check ALL energy/protien bars and drinks for soy. Easily missed trigger.
