Anyone had issues with eating peanut butter while taking an MAOI. I've read all the recent food lists and didn't see anything about avoiding peanuts and peanut butter. I just ate a pb&j sandwich and immediately felt awful so I Googled peanut butter & MAOI and sure enough it's on a bunch of different food restriction lists I didn't read. I'm not sure if I am overreacting because I am overly sensitive about every little thing right now or if I should legitimately be concerned. I currently have a sharp headache, throat tightness, and feel flush. My husband just went to the store to get a bp monitor. Hopefully I'm just being dramatic. :)
For those of you that have experienced a spike in blood pressure from levels of high tyramine, at what point did you go to the emergency room? I don't want to mess around but really don't want to go to the ER if I could just wait it out. My pdoc didn't give me any pills to lower my bp. Is that typical?
