Taking Caapi after stopping Propranolol... I feel flushed and panicky, should I worry

[TurnedOnTunedIn]

Well I'm doing decent calming myself but I'm still worried if my BP isn't too high. I'll be getting a monitor soon on this note.

I'm flushed as could be, I stopped taking propanolol(60mg-xr/day, then 30mg-xr for one day) 60 hours before ....

I took a lower dose of caapi... Part of a brew I'm not sure how many ounces or how potent but I know it's a very mild dose.... -__- I know I know but it's the truth...

Hey, I can't give too much advice as I'm not sure how Propranolol interacts with Caapi, but do know Caapi can be kind of intense by itself so sending you some good vibes.

If you feel really bad, don't hesitate to seek medical attention.

How long have you been taking Propranolol btw?

I was completely fine with breathing and would say it was all psychosomatic. Just took some faith!

There's concern that propanolol with MAOIs may seriously drop blood pressure, they could potentiate each others hypotensive effects.. OTOH, not sure if harmaline/harmine causes significant hypotension when taken orally.

Not to worry you, but could be worth double checking - can you measure your own BP?

I think that worries over too high blood pressure come from old misconceptions about how catecholamines like adrenaline are broken down: not really much by MAO but by COMT.
