     Thanks for that tidbit...I thought I had remembered it being considered 
a MAO inhibitor and thus needing dietary restrictions. Unfortunately, I agree 
with you in wondering if anyone really knows anything in medicine.  The 
subject is far too complicated, and there certainly are plenty of doctors out 
there who cannot combine common sense and practical knowledge into a whole 
that works.
