Hi,
I've been going through these phases in the past couple of weeks where I'll be feeling spectacular for several days, then wham! I feel terrible. I'm beginning to piece this all together and I think I've been having hypertensive reactions (though obviously not super severe).
1.Does any know of a *comprehensive* list of foods, herbs, and spices that could possibly interact with MAOIs? The common lists don't have everything- after some digging on the web I noticed that ibuprofen and peanuts, both of which I pop mass quantities of, are contra-indicated. I know the lists have been shortened in recent times, but what kind of stuff was on the old lists?
2. I read here that Thorazine can be used in a hypertensive emergency. That is an anti-psychotic, or am I wrong? Would that mean that Zyprexa could possibly help, too?
I really want to stick with this med. Thanks to anyone who can help me straighten out the nuances of it.
