> I am starting Nardil next week and very scared of the food interactions. CAn anyone relate?
I have been on MAOIs since 1982. The old list of foods to avoid was based more on anecdotal reports than any kind of scientific investigation. More recent lists are not as restrictive. Personally, the only thing I miss is Mexican food. I am concerned that the sharp chedder cheese used will produce a reaction. I eat pizza, as long as parmesan cheese is not used. Mozzarella is okay to eat. Overall, MAOIs have not required a radical change in my diet. I don't feel deprived, for the most part.
What foods are you most concerned about?
> I think I've got the med interactions down and I have ordered a medical ID.
That's smart. It is a good thing that you are taking MAOIs seriously.
