I noticed a discussion thread from about a year ago about using Protein Powder supplements along with MAOIs.
I am taking 90mg/day Nardil and would like to begin a weightlifting regimen along with a Whey Protein supplement. I have read all the messages in the thread about Whey Protein and there does not seem to be any conclusive result or consensus reached regarding the dangers of taking whey protein supplements with MAOIs. Since the postings, has anyone been using the MAOIs in combination with a particular protein powder, with any negative consequences resulting? I tried to mail the original poster, H. Upmann, but was not
successful (the system claimed he was "not a poster"). It may be that some pure protein supplements are manufactured in such a way as to have little or no tyramine content, and may be safe. In this case I would need to know from someone with empirical knowledge of success and the exact brand used.I am also wondering if there has been any issues with blood pressure while using heavy weights in power lifts. I know that intense high-load lifts can cause very high spikes in blood pressure, and MAOIs seem to mess with this a lot. I'd be worried about passing out from low blood pressure during a power lift, or having a stroke from high blood pressure.
Does anyone have any more information to share? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
