You are both right....although the data sheets read this and many other things,a lot of people dare i say MOST wont have these problems on the drug.
However a lot of people who dont,also dont know what it is to HAVE one,and its kinda like a car accident,it takes someone unfrotunatly being i a wreck to respect the road more and drive more cautiously.Although the chances are high youll be fine,just know that maoi interactions are real,and when they happen u cant turn back the clock,and its quite scary.
Mainly because at that point ur screwed,anything u take when ur in one will likly only worsen how u feel,and a possable cranieal hemorage,u know bleeding in the brain suddenly becomes a big worry as ur head pounds from a violent migraine.
At this point knowledagble people need to step in and determine if ur having hypotension or hypertension,and carefully treat that,this is something many facilites dont know and wont know when u come in with a maoi reaction.
Lets not forget it can happen,i know a lot of positive posts of maois,including me,and yess they are generaly safe and in my opinion safe enough to outweigh the risk when severe depression is a factor,good luck.
