Well, as I said in response to KayeBaby, I did not "eat" anything prohibitive that time. I "ate" almost an entire box of time released antihistimine tablets (Contac). This was a suicide attempt, and one I would NEVER recommend. The headache was so severe and all over my head--front, back, sides, top. I felt like my head was going to explode. It was horrible. At the time I was on 30 mg. of Parnate per day, and the headache came on after about 10 minutes max, I think. I had "eloped" from the hospital to do this, and my doctor came looking for me and found me and was the one who took me to the ER of the general hospital. He was my hospital doctor and later therapist, and I loved him dearly. He died in 2004, but I had not seen him for therapy since 1997. Still, it was a major blow to me.
Otherwise, when I have eaten something without realizing it had something in it prohibitive. I have gotten mild headaches from this mostly in the temples and back of my head. There are lists, and there are lists regarding what is prohibited to eat. Soy is one of the no, no's on my list that I use, as I get mild to moderate headaches when I eat Chinese food. There are some other foods as well, and others I know to stay away from entirely like aged cheeses of any sort or red wine of any sort. I had a glass of White Zinfindel with dinner last night with my women's group when we went to an Italian restaurant--always a danger due to the cheeses. But I ate a clam and artichoke dish with noodles that was yummy and had no cheese in it. At this time I take 40 mg. of Parnate per day.
