While taking phenelzine, avoid foods high in tyramine (such as aged cheeses, cured meats, and fermented products) because they can cause dangerous increases in blood pressure. Also, avoid other medications or supplements without your doctor's approval, especially other antidepressants, decongestants, and stimulants. Limit or avoid alcohol consumption as well.
