first off the concerta goes and for full safety wait 10 days after stopping the remeron. MAO's get a very bad rap because of all the possible interactions and dietary restrictions.
you can eat cheese. just not aged. kfaft singles and those kind are perfectly safe. i am a bodybuilder also. it will take some time and i mean about a good month or more to adjust to the MAO. some people just do not get the side effects and some do. if you take Nardil your BP is going to drop in the beg of treatment. as for protein do not and i say do not use any WHEY isolates or ION exchange whey. dont use any protein powders or bars period. they contain alot of tyramine and will definatly send you into a hypertensive crisis. i know it sucks because its so needed to grow fast but protein powders are out.
the diet is very easy as long as you are careful.
everything is trial and error. there are not alot of dr.s who are very good in prescribing MAO's. you have to remember these drugs where bascially the first AD's out there next to Tofranil. the best thing to do is go to Medscape and do a search on the drug you want to go on. they are very up to date.
good luck and ask me any questions
