Normally I would agree with Scott about going with the Nardil, but it seems that everyone is complaining lately that the new version isn't effective... perhaps Parnate would be better. Fewer side effects as well (usually).
According to an article in the Journal of Clinical Phsychopharmacology (vol. 16, pages 383-388), soy sauce contains 0.941 mg/ml of tyramine, tofu contains 0.80 mg of tyramine per 100 g of tofu, and soy milk contains 0.5 mg tyramine per 250 ml. Of course, the article recommends soy sauce be avoided while taking MAOIs. Tofu and soy milk are fine, but, as they are fermented, tempe, miso, sufu, and natto are probably best avoided.
