In reply to Re: Does liquor react with MAOI? Grand Marnier/Tequila, posted by morganator on December 22, 2009, at 0:18:33
I know there's better things to treat the anxiety, I just happen to be out of all of them at the moment. I'm seeing my doc later this week, but I'm also broke, so I'm not even sure I can afford the benzos. I'm literally broke.
So I went to my neighbor, who is also on all kinds of antidepressants, and she is out of benzos as well, but she said "take this" and gave me the Grand Marnier. I happen to like it, and if it doesn't react with MAOI, I'd even enjoy having a drink right now.. why not?
My doctor said to avoid red wine.. but didn't mention much about liquor, except to go easy on it.. but you never know if a specific type will do it.. that's what I'm trying to figure out.
Thanks anyway
