Medications for depression (MAOIs) interacts with BREWER’S YEAST
Brewer’s yeast contains a chemical 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 too much tyramine in the body and dangerously high blood pressure.
Some of these medications used for depression include phenelzine (Nardil), tranylcypromine (Parnate), and others.

Better off with nutritional yeast. Brewers yeast tastes fowl. Nutritional yeast has a cheesy kind of flavour, while brewers yeast tastes aweful and upsets some people’s stomach.

Don’t know about Brewer’s yeast, but I will say this.
I asked a psychiatrist about taking supplements once and his advice was to avoid the and only take meds that had been approved by the FDA.
