<<I mean, surviving spring allergies with OTC medication or taking cough syrup or lots of things can mean death to people who really don't actually want that in the end.>>
Touching on allergies clariton & zyrtec are fine with MAOI's. And....
"Cough medications containing decongestants, dextromethorphan or Demerol are not to be taken but plain **plain Robitussin is OK**"
The list really isn't all that extensive when you really read it. Aged cheeses, Demerol, aged meats and sour cream are the biggest culprits. What makes it look long are the 'goofy' foods (or at least in my life they seem odd)...cavier, liver pate, pickled herring, over rip banannas and avocados, tofu, miso, saurkraut, marmite, bovril....
And damn, I can't have any cocaine...grrrrrrrrr ;-)
I am not saying that no one eats this stuff, I am just saying that the foods are not all that hard to control if take an MAOI. I have lived without these foods or drugs for over 25 years, been sedated for surgery etc. and I wouldn't trade any of those years for all the cheddar cheese in the world.
