I can take 80mg of immediate-release Adderall in a day. I can eat two bags of beef jerky (don't ask). Aged cheese -- delicious! And hypertensive crisis-free!

> This is good to hear...however i think people on EMSAM above 6 mgs still need to be VERY CAUTIOUS. Although my gut feeling is eventually tests/studies will reveal that even at 12 mgs. high tyramine foods are okay w/EMSAM. But, on the other hand maybe not! Complying with the manufacturers recommendations is still the safe way to go. BUT, i am happy for you Riley and being the risk taker that i am, if i do eventually go above 6 mgs. i will definitely "test the waters" myself! Thanks for the great encouraging post. :)Monte
