About 3 weeks ago I went hiking and I was a disaster! I feel off a log and had concussion. Then I kept falling on rocks.
I asked another friend who take Parnate if she ever has trouble with her not going where they are suppose to and she said "yes".
I went hiking yesterday where the elevation was quite high and it went up quickly. I decided not to take any Parnate. I only feel once and that was when I was trying to come down the side the of a huge boulder and it was wet and my legs were too short to place one in a little crevace on the boulder and I came sliding down into a tree. I didn't hurt myself. So not take the Parnate really did help. I noticed my balance was MUCH better.

PS - God it was hot yesterday!!!

That kind of spooked him such that he has been reluctant to try the same thing with me. Mind you, I have been at 120-150mg for months at a time. The only headache I ever had occurred at 60mg when I accidently ate some pepperoni. I experienced the tyramine headache which is experienced as a painful throbbing behind the head at the occiput (occipital headache). I was wondering if your headache was more similar to that of my doctor's previous patient or to mine. It sounds like yours was indeed similar to his previous patient. I don't know if it is a reflection of increased blood pressure. He never took it. Perhaps it was just a dilation of cerebral blood vessels as occurs with migraines.
