Physician's, pharmacists and others may be overlooking this MAOI in treating 
the more serious types of depression, that don't respond to Prozac, Zoloft, 
Paxil or the older tricyclics - with their inherent side-effects.
 
Patients presenting symtoms of a hypertensive-crisis, severe headache, or who 
upon questioning, may have eaten foods high in tyramine:  aged cheddar, 
fermented meets, anchovies...yet may not advise physicians of this 
'nutritional supplement'.
 
There may not be the side-effects (especially drowsiness/fatigue); however, I 
would be concerned if physicians and others have treated a patient who has 
used this MAOI?
