Right you are my friend! That is the reason that the application has been filed with the FDA to remove the dietary restrictions on the 9mg patch because they have evidence that it really dosent have the same effect as the oral variety of MAOI's. I also am not advising anyone to do anything, I am a calculated risk taker myself so I wasnt to shy about experimenting gradually with certain foods/beverages once I went to the 9mg patch. I have to wonder how long it will be before Nardil/Parnate are supplied in a patch form considering the obviously better saftey that is provided (I am also aware that Selegiline/EMSAM is a selective MAO-B inhibitor in its lower doses).

It's always best to be cautious and experiment, though-- or refrain. But depending on what develops, I'm not sure the dietary restrictions are anything like what they would be on Parnate or Nardil.
