> Just to clarify, it is NOT the fact that I would have to lay off certain foods that I would care about at all.....it's the fact that I couldn't stand wondering every time I ate stuff if there was some ingredient in something that was going to end in my going to the ER....the FIRST time that I would ever be somewhere and ever got the high blood pressure reaction and had to say "excuse me everybody but I have to leave right away and go to the emergency room"..that would simply be the LAST time I'd ever take the stuff....that's just me.
I TOTALLY emphasize with you on this one. However, you would only have to watch out for aged cheeses - like blue cheese, etc. Cheesburgers are NOT going to send you to the hospital. And like I said in my previous post, a good pdoc usually gives you a med to lower your blood pressure in case you accidentally ate a big bowl of sauerkraut or have a big smoked sausage w/ aged cheddar cheese. Honeslty - it's not as bad as one would think. But I do hear what you're saying as I too would be worried about being out with friends aat a restaurant and all the sudden had to excuse myself to go to the ER! MAOI's are usually last choice meds. Have you ever tried a tricyclic w/ Lithium or Effexor w/ Lithium? Those are both effective combos my pdoc said work extrememly well for TR depressions.
I wish you well....and I hope I've helped somewhat! Again - thank you for you posts!
Jerry :-)
