> > I have been on Parnate almost 3 years. The first time I forgot the dietary restrictions and ate a piece of pizza I expected the worst. Nothing happened. Now I cautiously ignore them. By that I mean that I don't go out of my way to eat things I shouldn't; and if I eat something on the restricted list, I do it in small quantities and watch for any side effects. I don't drink wine, and completely avoid "aged" cheese--which are supposed to be 2 of the worst. (I am not advocating that anyone else do this, I'm just sharing my experience.)

> I have been on Parnate for most of past 11 years. As a result of reading several studies, getting info from doctors, and pushing the envelope a bit, I basically eat and drink anything I like. I do avoid forbidden things that I can take or leave. Like Kim said, I'm not advocating this. I just don't want the "theorical dietary restrictions" to keep anyone from trying this medicine if they fit the profile. I avoided it for several years for that reason.

I have been on Parnate for 2 weeks and I have the headache from hell. I am also dizzy. Please tell me that these side effects will fade because I really think already Parnate has made a difference. Any suggestions? My vision is also strange its like I see black spots. I am taking 40mgs.
