Sounds really frustrating.
I use emsam at a much higher dose, >12 mg/day and only very rarely have any food reactions, and those only to things like really aged cheese and maybe the occasional spoiled food. But these reactions are really minor and all I've ever had to do is take off a patch and it subsides. Plus of course after a while, you know what and how much you can and can't eat.
I might be able to tolerate a higher dose than most (I don't know)-- but I would think 12 mg would be worth trying. I mean if it causes problems, you can stop. And she can give you nifedipine-- as stated. And then you at least will know that whatever dose you tried was too much, and go from there.
Maybe in this day of remote medical services, you can finally locate someone in another city, in whatever state you live in, who can supervise, or work in tandem with her, or take you on as a patient.
Your Pdoc could expand her horizons.
