> A while back, someone sent a link to an excellent article on MAOI and food/drink interactions. People tend to worry a lot more than necessary about this. You'd probably need to drink a gallon of diet coke to react with the nardil, just like you need to eat 3-4 oz of cheese to (maybe) cause an adverse reaction. If these were so dangerous that you couldn't have a couple of diet cokes or a little parmesan on your spaghetti, no one would ever prescribe them. Certainly not to someone like me who has been suicidal.
Thanks for the info emmanuel. Problem is, I probably do drink about a gallon of diet coke a day. Tomorrow I'm gonna try cutting back to just having one large one in the am like I always do, cos that's when I need it the most. For the rest of the day I'll try Coke Zero which is the yuck to me, but maybe with time I'll come to like it ok. We'll see if that helps.
