What foods safe to eat with MAOI?
Question:
Answers:
Be extremely cautious, read your pamphlet warnings, talk to your doctor. I do know cheese is forbidden.
Other Answers:
Avoid red wines and certain cheeses (usually the older, more expensive cheeses. but not all cheeses are forbidden), as they contain tyramine which is converted to norepiphrine and can cause high blood pressure, heart palpitations and even a heart attack or stroke. Avoid caffeine, green tea, aspirin, ibuprofen, alcohols, ginseng and licorice.
You might also want to stay away from grapefruit as it increases an enzyme called CYP450 3A in the liver and changes the way some drugs are metabolized.
