I have lots of things with "soy lethicin". To be honest, I'm not even sure what it is. But I remember checking with my phamacist and she said its ok. I'm not sure if it benign in some way or is always in small amounts.
As for the shakes and drinks, that was part of this list, but as long as the drink, shake, powder, whatever, is getting its protien from Whey and not Soy, I've never had a problem. I know many others drink them as well.
"> My aminos that I take everyday contain 132 mgs of tyrosine and my whey protein shake contains anywhere from 500 to 1000 mgs of tyrosine per serving. Is this o.k. (I always get this tyrosine and tyramine thing mixed up)"Yikes. Me too. You'd have to check elsewhere on that one Courtney. I'm just not sure.
I'm not sure what's in Teriyaki Sauce.
Let me know though, or go ahead and add what you find to the list. I like to err on the side of caution, as I think you do also.
Looks like you've been going through the ringer, I wish I had some helpful advice. Which MAOI are you lookin at? I think you said you wanted to try Marplan again? If you do, good luck!
