In reply to MAOIers Poll: Did u suggest a MAOI or pdoc?, posted by zonked on July 5, 2010, at 13:29:46
Hi,
I am considering making the leap to MAOIs --Parnate specifically--and I am scared to death of both the food and drug interactions. I worry that I might eat chocolate without thinking, take a cold medicine by accident, etc. I'm thinking I have to wear a medical ID bracelet too.
