On both Nardil and SJW I developed (after several weeks) chest pains, nausea, dizziness, pain in the right side of the abdomen and a terrible "sick" feeling. On both, ironically, my social phobia symptoms improved at first and gradually worsened with time. On SJW I made no dietary changes as I didn't know it might be an MAOI.
SJW is considered by some to act as an SSRI and by others as an MAOI. I heard the effect may have something to do with the dosage as well.
Assuming that it may have such side effects and that some people may be more sensitive to it than others, perhaps it is better to refrain from foods known to interact with MAOIs.
Just my opinion...
