If I've got this right, only low dose amisulpride will increase dopaminergic activity(maybe upto only 200mg or something),higher doses will have the opposite effect(antipsychotic). This could make you a sad ACE-I don't want that cause your pro-nardil campaign is doing me good right now. Started taking 60mg 3 days ago.

> If you eat a small amount of food containing tyramine, might you just get a minor reaction to it, ie. very small rise in BP and mild headache. Or Is it an 'all or nothing' phenomena, ie. you either get a full blown hypertensive crisis or no reaction at all. Its just that I ate steak last night(mmmm...very very good)and about 45 mins after I could feel my blood was pumping pretty fast and I had a mild headacke.
> I Couldn't figure out if this was a mild reaction to the juicy steak or finally some side effects. If everyone else gets them,I want side effects Man!! I need this thing to work!! Took 75mg yesterday(day 3), if this had been the 3rd day of an ssri I'd be freaked out with anxiety,depersonalization,etc...Funny how wrong the perception of MAOi's is by your average doc.

>Falco,
The "nasty" side effects I was referring to included wicked constipation, insomnia, and, of course, sexual dysfunction. I never experienced a hypertensive episode, but i was pretty careful with the diet. The side effects that i commonly experienced with the SRRI's, anxiety, and worsen depression, were not a factor with Nardil. As I remember it, after three weeks of feeling practically nothing, which was a blessing in itself, i.e., no side effects, the drug magically kicked in one night and I was literally free of all my SP symptoms and depression! If it had lasted, my life, some fifteen years later, would've been so much different and a lot less painful and hell of a lot more productive.
