hypertension
occipital headaches; they may be severe ==> intracerebral bleeds
stiff and sore neck
autonomic changes: flushing, sweating, cold and clammy skin
arrhythmias (tachycardia > bradycardia)
nausea, vomiting
Noradrenergic crises can lead to death, but they are more readily controlled than serotonergic crises. So, they are not as severe as serotonergic crises if caught early enough.
