Jerry, it's great to hear that you are feeling so well!
The 'diet thing' is kind of 'overblown' perhaps? With sooooo many foods today containing hidden ingredients, how would someone know if they were eating something that contained, say, aged cheese(not just talking about store-bought foods that have labels, but about all the foods you eat elsewhere....I can think of MANY examples where cheeses are added to foods in which you would never know they were even there.....I know Nardil is awesome (I took it for a short time many years ago), just wondering why it's been around for eons and yet decades and decades pass and you STILL have the dietary restriction crap.....do they EVER improve these drugs....400 years from now folks on Nardil will still have the same dietary restrictions.....seems like every other field makes constant innovations, improvements except these psyche meds....10,000 years from now these meds will STILL cause your pecker not to work.....if everything else changed as pitifully slow as these psych meds did, we'd still be flying in Orville and Wilbur Wright's plane, driving in Henry Ford's auto, and saying that the World was flat.......just wondering how these meds can be around for lifetimes and yet no improvements are made in the meds....is there at least anything one could take (w/ Nardil) that would let you eat foods without wondering if you'd have to visit the ER afterwards....just one example I gave in the past (though you could think of endless examples) is this spaghetti dinner that I often go to w/ my family...just recently found out (when talking to someone who works there about their recipe) that they add various cheeses which go into the SAUCE of the spaghetti...so if you were taking Nardil and happened to go to this place, you'd be thinking, "well, I can't put cheese on my spaghetti and I'll be fine" never knowing that cheeses were ALREADY mixed into the sauce....I can think of so many examples where foods contain ingredients that you would never suspect....even store-bought foods contain hidden ingredients.......for someone who eats at home ALL THE TIME and prepares all of their own meals, that would make things much easier but I eat out all the time (work, with friends, picnics, outings, anywhere and everywhere----there is no way to know what is in all those foods...I would love to hang out with someone taking an MAOI for any long period of time and see how they can go everywhere and eat at restaurants, malls, work, ANYWHERE, without knowing what's in the food they're eating.....can't even imagine going to a picnic, dinner, friend's house, etc. and having to analyze every ingredient in a meal every time I ate....does Nardil come w/ an "Agoraphobic Diet', lol, just stay at home and eat only the same foods that you KNOW the ingredients of....again, would just love to know someone on Nardil and take them to a restaurant buffet or tons of other places (like that spaghetti dinner place for just one example) and watch how they decide what foods they can and cannot eat when there are so many foods that contain hidden ingredients.....and that's just foods, aren't there many other things (meds, OTC things you'd commonly buy at the store for example, supps, that can't be taken w/ Nardil........would LOVE to take Nardil if it weren't for all this crap.....500 years from now the same restrictions will surely apply, lol. I'm not picking on Nardil as I already know its awesome benefits, just wondering why these meds never see innovations/improvements after EONS of existence.......the best anti-dep is still a Smith & Wesson.....gotta run, haven't been posting much lately, will check back soon. P.S. Ace, you STILL R-U-L-E!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
