Hi hun...I agree with you...stopping this is most likely what I will do as I dont "feel good" taking it...I think actually, now that i'm awake in the morning - mild depression and not as energetic, that the EGCG in the extract actually hindered/prevented proper metabolism/absorption of Nardil...I think this may be a "withdrawal" scenerio to some degree..plus that much purified caffeine can't be good for you on a maoi. This is nothing like a nice cup of green tea....its an extract of green tea that has a very high concentration of some of the compounds in the green tea leaf. No indication in the medical literature at all about potential interactions with a maoi though (to my knowledge)...I think I will report it? At least it's known here. I still am curious about the caffeine free though...but I think I wont.
thanks
myco> Myco I feel you should stop not safe to experiment especially with heavy duty meds and I'm assuming green tea extract isn't the same as the green tea you drink. Love Phillipa
