I suffer from dysthymia as well as social anxiety disorder and was recently prescribed Nardil.
I have the pills sitting on my table, but I'm terribly afraid to take them for fear of the severe side effects.
So I see on this diet plan
http://www.upmc.com/HealthAtoZ/patienteducation/Documents/MaoiDiet.pdfThat "fermented soybean products" are to be avoided, it says things like (miso and tofu) but then there are other sources that say to avoid anything with soybean products entirely.
Well, that includes about 90% of foods, as I'm reading ingredient labels that show just about every food I eat has soybean in some form or another, even hamburger bread!
I'd like to just make some meals that I know are safe so that I could stick to a food routine and be comfortable taking this medication, but I can't seem to feel confident about any food choice as I'm so afraid about the age/content/etc.
So I guess my question is, is that are the soybean products listed in common food items that bad or is it that I have to avoid straight soy sauce and that in small quantities as seen in baked items they're ok?
