Yes. Basically, there’s a chemical compound (tyramine) in cheese that our body is supposed to break down when we consume it. Phenelzine stops the body from breaking down that compound (tyramine), so the concentration of it rises too high. This leads to your blood pressure rising very high—dangerously high.

Option 3: there is no longer cheese on the floor. I have a dog...
Is there a risk of addiction with diazepam and lorazepam as well?

All of the benzodiazepines, including diazepam, lorazepam, alprazolam, clonazepam, temazepam, and many others have the potential to cause addiction and physical dependence.
Obviously — There is cheese on the floor!
