MAOI diet misconceptions regarding Caapi and syrian rue

[MindAsh]

most do not realize that B. Caapi and Syrian rue are not true MAOI's but a subclass known as RIMA's and that due to this varience diet restriction almost do not apply if they do at all, medication restrictions are exactly the same so dont get confused and i wouldn't eat aged cheese then dose myself with rue or caapi but ive eaten rue after supposed MAOI contraindicated foods and have not had a single problem.

to better understand why this is the way it is please start by looking here and then broaden your spectrum of understanding through further searching online

i hope this helps those of you who find it hard to fast or only have contrindicated foods on hand.

Harmala's are our friends :-D

Interesting, but wiki still says this for RIMAs:

RIMAs still have highly dangerous and sometimes fatal interactions with many common drugs; in particular, they can cause serotonin syndrome or hypertensive crisis when combined with almost any antidepressant or stimulant, common migraine medications, certain herbs, or even most cold medicines (including decongestants, antihistamines, and cough syrup).

Secondly the fasting and dieting is part of cleansing the body - allowing for an easier upchuck of aya if intended, and for a lighter body load... If you want to do it in a fully spiritualistic and respectful manner, as I would hope everyone does - I would still diet.

i couldn't agree more, i did state unless i made a typo that medication restrictions apply still rima's as much as they do maoi's and the diet with rima is much more a spiritual concern as it is ease of purge i think the point i was aiming at was moreso that people who might be prone to freak out should they have eaten something contraindicated as far as diet is concerned should be more at ease to know that it probably wont kill them. i apologize if wrote that up without clarifying. good call tho pointing such out. (ive been awake 24 hours so second apologies if i worded this wrong as well lol)

How long should I wait before using Alcol or stimulants after taking low dosage of oral harmala?
