Research confirms this so I think you're definitely on the right track. I understand bad SP -- last year I couldn't even go out to get the mail. I had to go on disability and now I'm out of a job because of SP and Bipolar disorder. It's kind of funny how such a silly disorder can cause such a serious problem in life. So many people don't understand how big of a deal it is to have social anxiety disorder. I wish you all the best.
> My pdoc said he has been prescribing Nardil for over 20 years and only heard of 4 hypertensive crisis situations.. Right now I fully plan to avoid the foods on the list he gave me..
Sticking to the diet isn't hard at all... you get used to it real quick. Cutting cheese out is probably healthier anyway. There seems to be controversy on how strictly you have to follow the diet. My attitude was always 'better safe than sorry', but to each their own... Good for you and not drinking. I gave it up because of bipolar disorder, and it really doesn't mix with any mental illness. Try to stick it out with the Nardil and I bet you'll be amazed!
Hang in there,
