I'm currently undergoing a washout from wellbutrin xl and clomipramine in preparation for beginning treatment with either tranylcypromine or phenelzine in the next two weeks. I've been doing a lot of research into the low-tyramine diet required with these medications and I'm curious to hear from someone who's actually been on the medications how stringently they adhere to the diet. I don't want to be lax but the various diets I've seen have had different opinions on the necessity of restricting non-aged cheeses and some types of meat. One thing that concerns me is that I have a history of bulimia and I'm wary of the first few weeks until the antidepressant effect takes hold and I can be more stable and cognitively acute in order to more intuitively follow the diet. I plan on being meticulous for the first couple of weeks but if the medication finally works, it will be well worth it. Any response is appreciated. Thanks.
