Hi SG and Lilith-
I just thought I'd let you know that I saw both my pdoc and Internist today. My pdoc started me on 200mg of provigil once/day to see if it'll help. Then, because of the recent tyramine reaction/hypertensive crisis, my internist gave me a script for emergency catapress 0.1mg to use if I ever have the misfortune of having another. I had askd her about some nifedipine (bite and swallow) for those purposes and she said that they have now found that using nifedipine for these reasons causes too rapid a drop in BP- will actually bottom you out and then you can have an MI so she uses catapress for that reason.Just thought I'd let you know.
