But I'm not trying to scare those on MAOIs who have proper instructions from their doctors, and who do not eat the foods that would make themselves vulnerable. As one pointed out, eating out is a difficulty and a pleasure lost. But if it is necessary to come to an MAOI -- well, that's between you and your doctor
