> Kev,
> Sorry to hear about your reaction. I dislike liver, so I've never considered eating it. But I had a similar reaction on Thanksgiving from the giblets, which include chicken liver. They were used in the dressing. I never thought of that, as my mother never uses them, and neither do I. Never thougth to ask. I had similar symptoms, which also went away after a couple of hours, so I did not go to the hospital. At the time, I did not know it was an MAOI reaction. I had just had some gum surgery, and I assumed it was triggered from tooth pain.

Hi gardenergirl!
Thankfull the Urinary retention has gone already. PHEW! But another odd thing is that since the food reaction, I've actually had a kind of "re-kick-in" effect from the Nardil! Although it was helping me anyway, an antidepressant effect similar to what I had when it first kicked in, has reappeared. The only theories I have as to why, is that it either acted a bit like ECT treatment, or I'm simply more glad to be alive!
Unfortunately, there is one more new problem I now have. Whenever I try to masterbate (sorry to sound crude - we all do it dont we?), a similar, but milder headache returns to the point that I cannot actually finish. This is of course worrying. I hope that food reaction didn't leave any real damage.
Bye for now.
