In reply to To much DA in with total MAO inhibition = low bp?, posted by myco on March 17, 2009, at 0:04:58

> Recently I had somewhat of a misadventure with trying to potentiate the DA and SE effects of Nardil with green tea extract. Well that was almost a week ago and I am still in a state of dizzyness, tinnitus, throbbing head in 4's every few minutes, chest pains, difficulty breathing seems like...heavy breathing or shortness of breath. Ive only been able to "catch" my bp on a bp machine at safeway on occasion but will buy one tommorrow to monitor thoroughly....question....I knew that there was an enhanced DA effect with the green tea before it all shot to hell...is it possible that whatever neuro-enhancement it has done to me is still in there almost a week later because nardil (75mg) is completely inhibiting mao...also I take melatonin every night in lil bits which feeds back into DA according to studies (also just read its not as benign as I thought)....so mabye all this combine to produce a result that makes me feel like i'm going bloody brain dead here? lol Think it is as easy as lowering the nardil to allow mao to work again (stopping melatonin also) and not f*ck*ng around with DA supplements anymore....to rid this head crazyness? I almost fell over getting out of this chair 10mins ago..nardil has never done that to me. Please share on the validity of this or experience with sides that just dont go away. I think this green tea is toying with me ... you made a mistake d*ckh**d now you will pay moohoohoohahahahaha. bah...i'd love to sleep but my entire head goes beat red and sweats like a pig when I lay down then waking up is massive headache time everymorning. Someone shoot this horse lol.

> mycoHey myco,
When you turn into a horse we'll get right on that....until then, I do think its very possible you have some BP issues that need to be addressed immediately. At this point I don't think it matters what caused it, other than drop everything you've added that wasn't Doc approved. Go get a monitor in the morning and then call your PDoc if the results aren't normal. 120-130/80 roughly is the norm. But you should contact your PDoc if Systolic goes over 145-150,or under 90 or your diastolic goes below 60. Those are the perameters my PDoc gave me. He is a little conservative but with symptoms, I'd follow it.
I think you need to contact him anyway as you are symptomatic and you don't know why. Give him exact symptoms and BP #'s and he should be able to figure it out. You'll have to fess up to whatever you've added. But thats better than an "undesirable" outcome.Btw- is the headache in the back of your head, kinda in those two vertical muscles in your neck, does it pound? Thats high blood pressure.
Myco, I just reread your symptoms and I think you should be seen asap. I'm not an alarmist, but those sound like BP issues and you don't want to mess with that. Do you have insurance? If your symptoms are bad or that headache is as I described, I think you should get hold of your PDoc, now, or I'd get seen tonight at the ER. They may just monitor you, but better safe than sorry. Make sure they know about MAOI's.Don't ask for pain meds. They are contraindicated.
Maybe first go to an allnite grocery/pharmacy and check your BP again. What was it last time, when?
Jeez, Myco, didn't your mommy teach you never to play with your meds?? Let me hear back from you asap, Okay? Describe your current state. Babble me tonite if you can. I'll be up.
