Can you drink while on nardil? I've read that you can drink domestic beer. What about whiskey, vodka, rum, or maybe everclear(pretty much pure alcohol 190 proof) with mixed with something? Is it the alcohol that causes the reaction?

It's the tyramine-- a byproduct of alcohol fermentation (yeast)-- that can cause a reaction. It really depends on the type of alcohol (degree of fermentation) and the degree to which tyramine effects you (differs from person to person).
Generally, stay away from rum, dark beer, tap beer, wine, etc.
Beer kept in glass is better, since the glass absorbs some of the tyramine.

Ok, what are the chances a psychatrist would prescribe this for me? I've tried most the ssri and klonopin for social anxiety.
Also, Is it a good idea to get a prescription for a blood pressure lowering medication incase something goes wrong? What is the name of a good blood pressure lowering drug?

I drank primarily Luksusowa potato vodka while taking Nardil. I drank tons of the stuff and never had a problem. Its almost impossible at least for me to get a hangover on potato vodka. Very pure.

Luksusowa? This is my favourite brand also, coming from Poland. Where do you live?

I drink red and white wine in moderation (one or two glasses), domestic bottled beer and imported ales in bottles such as Amstel light. I have not tried any hard liquor.

I'm a long way from Poland. I'm in Santa Barbara, CA. Monopolowa is another potato vodka that I buy when Luksusowa is not available. Luksusowa is sold very cheap at a grocery store here called Trader Joe's.

Luksusowa is very pure and "safe" alkohol. Monopolowa is also Polish, but I have not heard about this one. Enjoy Luksusowa, the best Polish vodka I have ever drunk.

I hope you aren't self medicating with alcohol. How much do you drink on a regular basis?
