In reply to MAOI's and Greek food--What can I eat?, posted by gardenergirl on September 6, 2004, at 3:52:31
> Hi all,
> I am planning to go to my hometown's annual Greek festival next weekend. I love this event, and usually will eat something like a gyro (with lamb/spam...what's really in there anyway?), souvlakia (I think like pork on a stick, but I forget), moussaka (kind of like Greek lasagna or mac and cheese), and/or spanokopita (spinach and/or feta in phyllos). Does anybody know what I can eat? It seems like it might be much harder to determine ingredients in these dishes, although the ladies who cook are all so friendly, if I hand them my MAOI dietery restrictions card, they may be able to help me.

> ggi tell them "no feta cheese" on the salad and everything has been cool for me thus far...
but my doc said i should have less problems than many with MAOIs cuz i'm young, male, fit, ok really fit :), have no history of heart problems, on a low dose (30 mg) etc etci can even take ritalin with parnate :)
it's been so long i can't even remember what depression feels like.... which kind of sucks... as getting a degree in psychiatry (plus perhaps psychopharmacology) will probably take me 10 years (??) and by that time i will be completely out of touch with the treatment resistant psychiatric disorders (TRPD) community .... i.e. you guys.... :(
i apologize for the babbling :) havn't been on in a while
