This level is variable and is dependant on the growing environment, contact with insects (they stimmulate response mechanisims as well as depositing protiens onto and into the fruit), stage of development and control sprays used during the growth cycle.

It appears that with small doses of this drug the MOAB levels are inhibited to the extent that significant levels of Tyramine can be tolerated before there is any reaction.

> "Uses: Treatment of major depressive episode without melancholia. Not a first line of therapy; is used when clients have failed to respond to other drug therapy. Investigational: Alone or as an adjunct to treat bulimia, obsessive compulsive disorder, and manifestations of psychotic disorders. Also, treatment of social phobia, seasonal affective disorders, adjunct to treat multiple sclerosis, and to treat idiopathic orthostatic hypotension (e.g., Shy-Drager syndrome) refractory to conventional therapy."

>Hey Panda
Do a lot of cross checking first, then if think it might be your "Holy Grail" then you use your charm an persuasive personality so that you can end up on it. And like I have said all along care, care and more care. Panda's are an endangered species and I hate the idea that a little bit of carelesness may cost us another one. So for the sake of us all, when trying any new things take the time to be shure about any adverse reactions that may be starting to manifest.
Keep a list of all of the things that could potentially cause a problem, and in a very conspiciuos place, for consultation purposes.
As a victim of a number of reactive effects there are times that it is not a hell of a lot of fun. Doudle vision, fuzzing, shaking, minor seizures, heart palpitations, loss of muscle control, etc. etc. and they are difficult to combat as the interactions are so numerous and the lists are getting very long.
Best to you
Cornycon
