Hi, Jan. My experience is that the restricted food list is way, way overblown. I've been on Nardil for years, and I eat pizza like crazy. I also drink beer and white wine. I do stay away from the most aged of cheeses, though I do have blue cheese in limited quantities. I don't eat dates or overripe bananas. Red wine will give me a slight headache, due to its tyramine content. Also, I avoid most over the counter cold medications, and make sure whatever doc I'm seeing knows that I'm taking an MAOI. Also, I'm careful about taking any other meds - just make sure your doc and pharmacist know what else you're taking.
That's about it. Hope it helps.
John
