Parnate (Tranylcypromine) is a monoamine oxidase inhibitor that is used for depression or social anxiety when SSRIs or SSNRIs have been tried and are not effective. The major concern here is that a hypertensive crisis can occur if the patient ingests tyramine from food/drink like aged cheese, a beer on tap, and more. This, the side effect profile + black box warning requires strict physician care
