I know not to take Demerol, dextromethorphan, tramadol, and Flexeril, but what about foods containing tyramine? My MDS says the dietary restrictions are much more relaxed now. Any thoughts on what foods to avoid?

Yes Jean, the dietary restrictions are more relaxed now. I was told by several MDS not to worry about tyramine or other food interactions. However, you should still be aware of the drug interactions. I've been on 1mg for about 1 1/2 years now with absolutely no side effects. However, I'm really not sure that I get any symptom benefit from it. Don't know how much .5mg will help you.
