I think I've posted this before, but here's the things-to-avoid list that I use:
-aged cheeses
-tap beer
-aged/air-dried meat, poultry, and fish
-sauerkraut
-broad beans [I think it's just the pods that are a problem but I'm not 100% sure]
-banana peels
-concentrated yeast extracts (this mainly refers to marmite and bovril, neither of which is used in the U.S.)
-meat, poultry, or fish that may have been stored improperly (sometimes a tough call)> Also, how do you find your response to alcohol?
I don't really get "drunk" as such. I just get sleepy. I haven't had much to drink since college, and it's almost exclusively been wine. I'm not sure how the Parnate has affected my response to alcohol, but here's a story: when I was taking Nardil, my PPD converted and I had to go on isoniazid for 6 months. Isoniazid is pretty hepatotoxic, and between that and the Nardil I just decided to forgo alcohol altogether for that period. When I went off the INH, I decided to celebrate (conveniently, it was the weekend of a well-known annual party known as "bar golf"). Much to my surprise, the etoh had little to no effect on me that I could identify (though I didn't test my coordination or anything). The amount I drank ordinarily would have had me under the table (I'm kinda small).
