I have some nardil but I can't decide whether or not I should take it. I am mostly worried about possible food interactions, like for some things its pretty hard to tell if it would contain tyramine or not. For example, processed foods you buy in packets at the shops eg. noodles, pasta's etc. A lot of these things contain certain yeast, soy, and sometimes powdered cheese. How are you sposed to know if it contains a lot of tyramine? Are packaged processed foods usually safe?
Another thing is at restaurants and fast food outlets. How can you be sure that there isn't tyramine in certain foods? What if i'm out and accidently eat something containing tyramine and get a hypertensive crisis when i'm not at home?
It just all sounds too risky so i'm not sure if I should take it or not. I heard you can't even take panadeine because it contains codeine which interacts?
What if you were ever in an accident and required surgery? Would this mean you couldn't be operated on due to the narcotics involved with anesthetic?
