Medications for depression (MAOIs) interacts with PHENYLALANINE

Phenylalanine can increase a chemical in the body called tyramine. Large amounts of tyramine can cause high blood pressure. But the body naturally breaks down tyramine to get rid of it. This usually prevents the tyramine from causing high blood pressure. Some medications used for depression stop the body from breaking down tyramine. This can cause there to be too much tyramine and lead to dangerously high blood pressure. Some of these medications used for depression include phenelzine (Nardil), tranylcypromine (Parnate), and others.
