In reply to Foods to Avoid on Parnate?, posted by bleauberry on January 24, 2009, at 17:03:05
Hi,
Here is a pretty good article which shows the tyramine content of some common foods, plus some low tyramine menus. It seems to follow pretty closely to what I've learned being on a low tyramine diet for over a decade.

Take care,
Jedi
> So my doctor has said she has no problem at all in giving me Nardil, Parnate, Lexapro+Abilify, Lexapro+Risperdal, Lexapro+Seroquel, or Effexor.

> I've noticed a trend here and at other sites where lexapro by itself has mixed reviews, and with me was not a promising experience, but that when combined with one of those three antipsychotics it is a totally new drug with frequent good outcomes. Effexor I've never tried. The MAOIs I've never tried.
