> I went to a psychiatrist yesterday, he seemed good. Best intake interview that I think I've had from the standpoint of him asking good questions, etc.

> He has been practicing for 37 years and said he had probably not prescribed an MAOI since his residency(!) and it took him a while to find the dosage info in his PDR. He wanted to put me on Selegline or something like that, some new SSRI but I said I was eager to try an MAOI and thats about all I had to say to get the prescription. Paxil and Zoloft are the only 2 psychotropic drugs I had tried previously (Zoloft did nothing, Paxil gave hair loss)

> So far I have been eating Tostitos, Oreo cookies, and drinking Sunkist (since this dang hurricane shut down every food outlet) and just slowly planning on expanding my diet. I wonder if there is a list on the internet somewhere of what brand-name foods we CAN eat, to make shopping easier?

> Also picked up one of those $50 blood pressure testers at Target. Its the kind that goes around your wrist (not elbow) so the placement of the thing is pretty particular.

> Oh yeah, Parnate is damn cheap. $26 for a month's supply. Awesome. I just hope this stuff works.
> Thanks for reading this.

>I have only seen lists of stuff we can't eat - I have probably cheated more times than I can count on the diet although I stay away from the main dangers (real cheese) and some of the other foods on my list I do not eat anyway (lava beans?). My doc prescribed Nardil the first time I seen him, I got lucky because it has been amazing.
