> Maois are a lot more safer than you appear to think. Soy is generally caleed soya here in the UK - there the same thing, as in soya milk (from soy/soya beans) I drink soya milk every day, now (with Marplan) & when I took Nardil. Fermented soya is the one to watch for but Yofu - soya based yogurt 'live' is fine. You could easily eat a healthy vegan diet with MAOIs.
Well Tempeh is fermented soy and I eat it. I don't think my doctor would want me running around with an MAOI diet, he's seen a pretty fair number of patients and is experienced and that's already scratched off the list, not to mention it would have nothing to do with my form of MDD for risk vs. benetfit and it wouldn't attack my rare OCD/D2/somatiform/you name it disorder.
"...foods and beverages that contain significant amounts of amines include beans, red wine, yeast extract, some imported beers, chicken/beef liver, cavier, pickled herring, fermented sausage (eg, bologna, pepperoni, salami, summer sausage), overripe avocados and various cheeses (eg, Brie, cheddar, mozzarella, parmesan, romano, and others)..."FOOD may interact with PHENELZINE (in Nardil)
This interaction is well-documented and is considered major in severity

Thre you have it, accidental ingestion of cheddar and parmesan when eating out and getting a nonvegan burger because I don't particularly care when I eat out, burrito/wraps even without cheese, etc. A toast of red wine on sabbath and holiday (Jewish), etc. A smidgen of beer (Valium nono for lots). Vegetable sushi or guacamole left out too long for aesthetics but enough to cause a problem.
Luvox would kill me. (drug-drug)>
> And the contraindicated drugs are really quite obvious - you only need to do a simple web search to find them & of course check with a doc before taking an OTC product if you're not sure.

> Of course if the meds you are on are contraindicated with MAOIs then indeed you are best to avoid, of course. Which ones are they by the way?Luvox (medium dose)
Neurontin
Robaxin
Seroquel
Tenex (temporary)
Trazodone (sleep, trial)
crapload of Valium
casual use of pseudoephedrine for sinusYes, Luvox and Paxil would be the only SSRIs I can stand given my inclination towards anxiety and my shift to sleepy things.
