In reply to Nardil 2 Parnate - BP ~240 in less than 40 mins, posted by MARTY on April 23, 2006, at 3:01:15
You might want to discontinue Parnate now and restart it in a week or so. There have been cases where someone will have a hypertensive reaction to Parnate despite the absence of confounding interactions. Often, these same people tolerate it well when rechallenged sometime later.
It is possible that the reaction will subside even if you continue with treatment. I have seen reports of this. However, this might not be the prudent thing to do. If I were a doctor, I would opt for discontinuation now and rechallenge later with a more gradual titration.
