An 18-year-old histrionic American art student with a history of major depression traveled to Paris in search of l’amour. On her date with Gaston, she sampled a plate of cheddar, Swiss and blue cheese and downed the fine cuisine with a glass of Chianti wine. Within minutes, the young lady developed a severe headache and unsightly sweat across her brow. She vomited twice on Gaston while clutching her chest. One hour later she was dumped in the Emergency Department for good. On exam, vitals show BP 210/80, HR 120, T 37, RR 20. In general, she appears ill and clutching her head. HEENT: mydriasis and bilaterally symmetrical pupils. The most likely offender of her horrible evening is:
A) paroxitine
B) sertraline
C) tranylcypromine
D) amitriptyline
E) cheesy gastritis
