A member asked:
I started an ssri medication a week ago (celexa), and now every time i eat cheese i get severe flushing, is the medication causing this? if so, why?

Tyramine rxtn?: Usually, drugs in the ssri and ssnri classes do not cause such outcomes, but you do have a beta blocker drug also (propranalol), and this mix may interact with your special susceptibilities. Not a simple straightforward problem, but i would err on the side of caution, and switch to a different anti-depressant drug.
