In reply to MAOI's and Champagne, posted by MavsFan on October 12, 2006, at 16:15:22
> I had posted a message quite a while ago about whether champagne was safe with MAOI's or not. The literature had said whites were safe, but reds weren't, but said nothing about champagne. I got no responses, but eventually decided to try it starting with small amounts and then increasingly larger amounts to see if I had any reaction whatsoever.

> MavsFanActually, the latest (well, now 10 years old) literature clearly states that wine of any kind (yes, even chianti) is safe to drink with MAOI's. Of course, as with any antidepressant, one shouldn't overdo it due to alcohol's depressant effect.
