> I have read a study (and saw it referred to on PB) about the safety of pepperoni. I've also seen it placed on safe lists for MAOIs. Someone on the MAOI Yahoo board has been telling everyone that it's safe to consume. She's been stating that as a certainty.
The only food that I have ever had a severe hypertensive reaction to is pepperoni. It didn't take much. I ingested no more than a couple of slices on a pizza. The plain cheese pizza from the same restaurant never bothered me. I experienced the classic occipital headache - pounding at the base of the skull in the back. For me, it is a certainty that pepperoni is on my foods to avoid list.
I was taking Parnate 60mg + desipramine 150mg at the time.
