John, I would not, under ANY circumstances, combine Prozac with high-dose selegiline/deprenyl. Hell, interactions have even been reported with Prozac + *low*-dose selegiline (i.e., 5-10mg). At 20mg+ you're talking about basically combining Prozac with an irreversible, nonselective MAOI. This is extremely dangerous and just shouldn't be done.
If you decide to take high-dose selegiline by itself, here's the diet I use. It's based on evidence rather than rumor. :-)
Avoid altogether:
most aged cheeses
foreign beers; tap/draft beer
broad (fava) bean pods
banana peels
sauerkraut
concentrated yeast extracts (Marmite, Bovril)
aged or air-dried meats
Use with caution:
American and Canadian bottled beer
mozzarella cheese
liver (I note this one because, while it's safe if fresh, it seems especially prone to contamination)
fresh soy products
pickled herring
The following have been restricted in the past without good reason:
wine (in general it's a good idea to keep alcohol intake moderate, though)
chocolate
bananas (even overripe)
avocados
sour cream
yogurt
figs
raisins
