I was on parnate for several years. I more or less followed the diet - no cheese, no draft beer, no soy sauce, no dried meats. Not such a restrictive diet at all -- I mean, how often do most people eat salami or soy sauce in the US. I cheated some with no problem.
If you search the web, you find all kinds of restrictions that I wasn't told about at the hospital - grapefruit, eggplant, on and on and on. I think this is a lot of BS and just scares people off from MAOIs.
I started parnate at McLean. They gave me a basic list of dangerous food and drink - draft beer, chianti, aged cheese and meat, soy, sauerkraut, marmite. Nothing that I couldn't easily do without. I did miss cheese and, as time went on, tried small amounts without a problem. Though, in retrospect, I should probably not have done this.
But I stuck with the restrictions McLean gave me and ignored all the alarmist stuff I found on the web.
