Thanks Jedi. I already have a pounding headache from the caffeine w/drawal and who knows what from paxil w/drawal and sugar w/drawal and wine w/drawal and good food w/drawal. Ok, I'm feeling sorry for myself. so who knows if I do have a hypertension episode? Isn't it just headache and racing heart? Well, I should be a lot healthier at the end of this month.
Does anyone know about quinoa? Is it high in carbs?
Thanks-

> Don't stress so much over the diet. It is really pretty easy. I've eaten pretty much everything you've mentioned including chicken of all kinds.(I wouldn't eat the liver; Yech!) Most meat is fine as long as it is fresh. Grains, coconut, mayo are all fine. Most of the tyramine reactions are caused by aged chesse. Here is an article you may find interestig. It is dated but MAOIs have been around for almost 50 years.
