I've been on Parnate 50mg for a couple of months and feel great. I have stopped using my anxiety medication. I don't know about insomnia because I take Ambien to sleep at night, although I have had a couple of nights when I wake up every hour.
I have been experimenting with food. I had Indian food last night and no problems. I don't know if I ate fava beans or not, but I know I ate lentils and curry. I can eat jack cheese and mozarella, but haven't tried cheddar. My doc says I should be okay if I eat the "cheap" cheddar. I wonder about yeast extract because I use soups to cook casseroles and such. I also like packaged rice but have found these items with no yeast extract at Trader Joe's.
I seem to have lost my sex drive, unlike some people on Parnate, and wonder if it is due to the Risperdal I take.
I'd like to know if anyone has experience eating cheddar cheese and yeast extract. Thanks, christine
