Yes, it could kill you if you mixed it with other drugs like Ecstacy or Paxil. Unless you're thinking of doing that there's no reason to worry. Deaths from tyramine-induced hypertensive crises are very rare, and in one study I read found that hypertensive crises occurred in less than 5% of people taking MAOIs. They can be avoided be following the low-tyramine diet properly. So in all the 'dangerous drug' reputation of MAOIs is mostly ill-informed hyperbole.
