> would you be unable to Eat Szechwan FOOD on the Parnate
Yes, I fear that Szechwan food would be risky because it often contains soy sauce. That's a common ingredient in most oriental cuisines. Worse yet, Thai food (my favorite) often contains fish sauce. I've never seen fish sauce on a list of MAOI taboos, but since it's made from fermented anchovies, I bet it's chock full of tyramine. Italian & Mexican are of course loaded with cheese. Indian food might be OK, but nobody knows what's in those curries.
> Cant you drink White wine
White wine is safer than red, but I MUCH prefer red. I'll just stick with water, which is my favorite beverage anyway.
> And cant you eat NON aged,,,Monterry Jack type cheese for those cravings you get. or Mozarella Cheese?
Non-aged cheeses are OK, but a poor substitute for the sharp-tasting (and highly fatal) varieties.
> How have you done on Nortriptyline?
Thanks for asking. I'm on desipramine, actually (I guess they're pretty similar). It's been a week, and so far the improvement has been subtle. My mood & concentration are somewhat improved, but so far it hasn't noticably helped with procrastination or anhedonia. At least the side effects haven't been a problem - very minimal and already abating. Each day it's a little better - encouraging.
