This is probably a stupid minuscule question, but I've got a stack of hotdogs in my fridge that'd be a shame to go to waste, lol. Anybody have any reactions with hot dogs and Nardil/maoi's? I'm assuming I shouldn't eat them, but I've heard conflicting reports on this while doing a little research. For the record, they're chicken/turkey flavored.

I'm guessing it's ok, since I have only heard of foods containing tyramine to be avoided while on an MAOI. As long as you're on Nardil, you'll find this list quite helpful for fulfilling & following your dietary needs, and restrictions:

i believe it would totally depend on the type/brand of hot dog...depending on whether or not it has been aged. i always eat a really little bit of anything that might cause an interaction, and if nothing bad happens 3 hours later, then i eat more of it. my friend ate a hot dog on nardil, and he said he felt slight euphoria....which might be indicative of tyramine-stimulated dopamine and norepinephrine release.

Third entry in that list is processed foods. Not saying you'll have a reaction but do you seriously want to try it just cause those hot dogs are looking good right now?

Well, since I've already made a topic. Is diphenhydramine(Benadryl) ok to take with Nardil? My insomnia's been pretty bad lately. I've read the Greenhorn's guide here, but it doesn't mention diphenhydramine, only doxylamine succinate

i dont have a problem eating cheese,i eat medium mature. i dont like blue or aged cheeses so its not a problem.
had marmite the other day,8 pints of lager...things get really blown out of proportion,my shrink just said red wine and blue cheese are the 2 worst,
oh and i also eat peperoni pizzas...i aint dead yet!

i definetly wouldn't. benadryl is a weak SSRI, and it could potentially cause terrible serotonin syndrome when combined with nardil.
