I take parnate and the food interactions are not that big a problem Chocolate is fine, unless you eat ounces and ounces of it. I drink coffee. No problem. I have small amounts of parmesan and feta - no problem. The drug interactions also aren't that huge a deal. I take lamictal -- no interaction. And Perphenazine -- no interaction. You have to avoid SSRIs, SNRIs and atypical antipyschotics. But, with the exception of atypicals which made me gain tons of weight, I never benefited from SNRIs or SSRIs anyway.
I wish my p-doc had put me on parnate sooner. He tried ensam first, which did nothing for me. I saw a consultant at Harvard Medical School who felt ensam was overrated and wanted me to try parnate and perphenazine. Old drugs, but they worked wonders for me.
