I also found the old lists needlessly restrictive and found (maybe through one of Scott's link) a more reasonable approach. For one thing, the most recent thing I read said an ounce of cheese is not a problems. 2-3 ounces is. So I started adding a little parmesan to spaghetti, a little feta to salad. No problem Serotonin ayndrome is easy to avoid -- just don't take meds that increase serotonin. Your p-doc should be very aware of this. Pain meds are fine, except tramadol and demerol. If you have to have anesthesia, tell the doc about MAOIs in advance and the need to avoid demerol. Have been taking parnate for 2-1/2 years without a problem. Even occasionally have a slice of pepperoni pizza, since they only have a 1/2 ounce or so of pepperoni. I avoid red wine, draft beer, significant servings of dried meat or aged cheeses and use soy sauce only in tiny quantities when a friend insists on sushi.
