Thank you Ryask, you're not being a pain at all, I did wonder whether I should ask someone as well...But everyone here (meaning the country not the forum!) has been so useless at giving me advice on that score that I just spent a few hours on google scholar reading papers on it and I didn't find anything against.. I know about grapefruit, the leaflet in the box of the meds warns about that too, but when I asked my psychiatrist if there are other foods or ingredients I should avoid he said he doesn't know anything even about grapefruit, and that I can drink grapefruit juice if I want to without worrying!!

I didn't know about tyramine but I'm only on antipsychotics so that should be ok...

I know that internet isn't enough, even if the source is reliable, but then no one knows their stuff...For example, when I was trying a different med (which said that patients with low blood pressure should be careful) I went to a pharmacist complaining of extreme dizziness and feeling faint, and explained the situation, and what did I get? 'Well, it is a hot day...Have you had water or something salty?' Aaaargh!!!
