I want to thank you for your post. Parnate pulled me out of a horrible, life-threatening depression last summer and I was very careful at first. But lately, I've been careless, eating a slice of pepperoni pizza, sprinkling parmesan cheese on pasta. No ill effects, so far. But it's good to be reminded that MAOI's are the "big guns" and need to be taken seriously. No more parmesan cheese for me.
So thank you for the reminder and please don't stop posting.

However, I did not address my post to you directly, just as a general caution. > > Even in the best of circumstances where all the rules of MAOI's are applied, things can and do go wrong. This is my opinion and I feel I have a right to voice it. I have been on two MAOI's, fully supported by my doctor. I've also had a stay in the ER where the emergency doctors knew exactly what to do.> > I also simply stated that I believe wearing a medical alert bracelet is a prudent thing to do. I felt more secure wearing mine. I thought that at minimum if I was not coherent, it may well save my life. That is my opinion and once again I feel I have the right to voice it.> > I have refrained from posting on the medication board for exactly this reason. My comment was not meant to be hurtful..just for people to be careful and I ended up getting a response that was, in my opinion, uncalled for.
