If you're looking for a MAOI without dietary restrictions, there's Moclobemide, though I don't know if it's available in the US? It's a reversible MAOI. However, I really couldn't recommend it personally because, when I took it, it did literally nothing. No benefits, but no side effects either - may as well have been placebo!! But obviously YMMV.

I've also heard that MAOI skin patches, like ensam, on the lowest dose are fairly lax about the dietary restrictions, but not at the higher doses. The dietary restrictions are very important thought because, as Sometimes said, you could die if you don't stick to them.

Anyway, definitely keep shouting until you get an earlier appt because Jan is far too long to have to suffer in this way.

I hope you find something that helps
