Why R there diet restrictions w/ MAOI's?

Posted by Janelle on March 30, 2002, at 2:15:32

I've read that certain foods (I don't recall which ones - cheese?) must NOT be eaten if a person is on an MAOI, and I'm wondering why not?
Is it that the inhibition of the enzyme (monamine oxidase?) also inhibits metabolism of certain foods?
Thanks!
