> How socially awkward is following a strict MAOI diet? Is it a huge deal at restaurants, parties, going out for a drink... What does one say to acquaintences about it, without launching into a description of a mood disorder and obscure, severe-sounding medication? Do people feel deprived, or live in fear of food? Or get used to it?I used to tell people I was taking a medication that would cause me to get sick if I ate cheeses, etc. I don't recall anyone why, and I don't remember anyone asking. I guess I would just say I have an imbalance that means I have to take this medication for the time being.
