Hi.
Todd said what I was going to say, only betterer.
I have spent much of the last 15 years taking MAOIs and eating pizza. I barely notice the restrictions, and I don't walk around trembling in fear and feeling like there's a bomb inside me waiting to go off if I do the wrong thing. MAOIs deserve a health respect for their adverse interactions, but once you become familiar with the relatively short list of no-no's, they will no longer be a threat.
As for the spontaneous hypertensive episodes, that does involve Parnate, and not Nardil. It is very infrequent, and usually occurs early in treatment if it is going to happen at all.
Stay away from pepperoni.
Good luck.
