None of my doctors ever wanted to touch this one. As another poster said, IV phentolamine is the treatment of choice.
I have had Thorazine to carry around (never touched it) and also clonidine (not even sure if that one is a good idea).
I've only had one hypertensive crisis on ~120mg/day tranylcypromine when I ate some esoteric thai dish that must have had some obscene amount of tyramine in it. Well, I wouldn't even call it a "crisis", as I did not have to call 911, but it was painful. Clonidine made it go away.
