Our neuro told us that to cover their a@!, drug makers go further than really necessary...for example, you are not supposed to eat certain cheeses if taking azilect...our neuro told us that you would have to eat the equivalent of a wheel of cheese to have a problem, so...we take some of the contraindication warnings lightly. Of course, food conflict is one thing, drug conflicts we take more seriously.
But still, we are really thinking about trying this. We're already getting LP in the 5-hour energy drink, and there's no warning on there that I have seen about not drinking it if you are taking MAO inhibitors, so taking LP in a different form (capsule) instead of the drink should not make too much of a difference as long as the doses were about the same.
