Hi just started EMSAm 6mg and I try to lift weihgts when possible and take a protein shake. On the back it lists the types of amino acids in it and " tyramine" is not listed, is it OK for me to drink this? Thanks
Jim

You could try very low amounts of it and work up. The only thing I could see is a potentiation of the drug effect. Tryptophan, tyrosine, and phenylalanine could enhance drug effect and side effects by potentiating the drugs actions on neurotransmitter systems.

Yeah, you'll be fine. On EMSAM 6mg I would consume 100g of protein from shakes over the course of 2 hours (pre and post workout shakes), six days a week. No problem whatsoever. You just might get a little stimulated for about 1-2 hours from the tyrosine, so be careful about taking it before bedtime.
I've found that I can do this on Parnate, as well, for what it's worth.

I thought there were no dietary restrictions on the 6mg patch? Love Phillipa
