Thats a possability,but then again the same would be said through the past four years of use.
I found parnate alone ineffective very quickly,and for a long time have augmented it,and have done so with substances that are alleged no nos.
Honestly of every substance,whether nutrient,herb,or med,the only one i can agree for myself is a definitive no no is any ssri.
I have the occasional beer,which at times seemed to have a synergy with parnate.
Is this iresponsable,in many ways yess,BUT how and why should i put all my trust in an industry that has lied to me for five years,an industry that had me on at one point 5 different medications at the same time,an industry that took my money and showed little compassion,an industry that claimed drugs given to me would help,and instead had me not knowing who i was.An industry who prescribed mind altering drugs very quickly to me,at the age of 18,with little to no scientific method involved,but claimed there was.
An industry that denied me a medication i pleaded for,and when actualy obtained did help tremondously,this med that helped was refused upon me by various docters who claimed it would not help,i only shutter to think where id be had i kept on the cocktails i were given.
The basic foundation of theory on the dangers of Maoi interaction are sceintific and understandable,and have small number of cases to prove it.
I however like others have felt the evil pure evil of totaly untreated depression,or incorrect treatment of it,and it is not a life i would even want to live.
So i take my chances with parnate,why......cause this is a war,its fighting demons,and playing by the books,waiting weeks on end to see a doc for 5 min,is not gonna cut it for me,in war there are risks,the most i can do is research as best possable,be prepared for worst case scenerios,but i refuse however to adhere to any restrictions put forth by the same people who push zoloft,and explain its activity through means of a animated commercial.
Many of the no no substances have went well with parnate,caffiene for example is an option i often use with it,although im not fully recovered and doubt i will ever be,the methods i use allow me to work,and function 90 percent more efectivly then i did pre parnate,then i was a total mess even ending in the hosiptial for ohh 3 hours before i got outta there quick.
My feelings are i will either find something to get me where i want,or pass on due to an MAOI reaction,thats war,the only other side of the coin is to play it safe,and live a meaningless life filled with darkness and despair.
I see people so frightened to take Maois,now im not knocking anyone,that is not how i think,but i do wonder why a person feeling at the end of their rope,seeing a option would be frightened away by something as a dieatary restriction.
Playing it safe,and by the book usualy doesent bring forth dramatic results,overcomming depression requires a dramatic result,the demons wont let up or show mercy,so all aresenal to fight them is an option for me.
I hope this doesent sound forward,its actualy more of a general statment rather than a reply to your post,i also hope regardless of any posts everyone chooses their own path,i eat normaly on parnate,soy sauce is the only exception,i do everything normal,i personaly feel no limitations aside from the damn insomnia it causes.If i passed on today i know i never once gave in,and the strentgh it takes anyone with a severe emotional disorder to keep on keeping is an internal strentgh so great "normal" people could never ever begin to understand,good luck to all fighting your demons.
