No, you still have to be on a restricted diet, but the diet with Ensam is not quite as restrictive as it is with oral MAOIs. I remember the confusion about the diet because the package insert for Ensam outlines the restrictions, but the dietician at the hospital was telling me the restrictions for oral MAOIs. They were markedly different.
