In reply to MAOI and Soy Milk, posted by MysteryMonk on June 12, 2003, at 16:40:54
As an addition, It is POSSIBLE for ANY protein containing food to build up tyramine IF spoilage has begun to occur. This includes soy milk. Freshness of foods is important when taking an MAOI. ex. One person had a severe reaction to a hot dog from a street vendor. Hot dogs are normally O.K. to eat. It is wise to discard foods when close to expiration date.
Was the soy milk you drank fresh or was it near the expiration date?
As mentioned in first post parnate can also cause blood pressure increases for 2 hrs. after taking a dose. Your BP increase could possibly have been caused by that.
Also, one of the cautions stated while on an MAOI is "avoid any food that has caused unpleasant reactions previously".Paul
