> Regarding the food and alcohol restrictions, Id more or less concur with Jessica. I'd go slow on the wines (red or white) and alcohol while you are acclamating to the medication. But it doesn't matter what kind of alcohol it is at long as it is not a home-brew or microbrew beer. In 20 years of Nardil and Parnate I've only had 2 reactions - one to a decongestant, another to anchovy paste. and that includes alot of sausage, sauerkraut, soy sauce, pepperoni, and God knows, chocolate! Riccota/mozzerella/cream cheese/processed yogurts/are DEFINITELY no problem!!!!Phil
That's funny, one of my three reactions was to anchovy paste too! I found it's in some of the more obscure Asian foods. (For me it was Vietnamese Pho.) And I've been on a sauerkraut binge lately because a new pub serves it with brats (I don't eat the brats, just the kraut).
