I drink beer occassionally and I'm on the 9mg.
The literature says to "avoid the tap beers and other beers that have not been pasteurized." (because of the tyramine)
Under "Acceptable Foods and Drinks" it says:
"As with other antidepressants, concomitant use of alcohol with EMSAM is not recommended. (Bottled and canned beers and wines contain little or no tyramine.)"
So bottled beer is okay, it is just not recommended as is the case with any antidepressant.
