In reply to Parnate and high blood pressure, posted by okydoky on January 4, 2009, at 14:03:22
> I finally got a prescription for Parnate. After a few days I started taking two and had a headache. Sure enough my blood pressure is higher than usual. I run low like around 110 over 60-65. Today it was up to 140 over something. I have some Procardia on hand and have been taking 1/4 of a tab under my tongue. I checked everything I am taking with it and i should not be having any reaction. In the past the Parnate always made my blood pressure even lower so something is very amiss.

> I take Oxycontin, Valium on a regular basis. I have been taking macrobid and pyridium. Either I have a bladder infection or I cannot take the Parnate ( bladder disease). I had my urine tested yesterday so I should know soon. But my blood pressure is getting higher every day. The only other thing is a use daily instills in my bladder but I thought they were not systemic so I should not have to worry. They are Heparin, Marcaine,Triamincine and Gentamincin. I tried to look this stuff up the only one I am unsure of is Triamincine?

> okyHi Oky,
Its the last one, triamincin I think its spelled. Its clearly contraindicated with any MAOI. Please keep close watch on your blood pressure and any side effects related to your medication. Do you have enough antidote? Will you post back so we know you are ok? Or if there is anything I can do? If you can do without that med, your ok. So, I geuss the good news is if you can replace that you'll be able to use Parnate. The only thing, I notice you use it for bladder, the drug I'm finding is for flu, cold, that sort of thing. Can you double check spelling please?
