I have also asked in here why MAOIs are causing hypotention a few weeks ago, but nobody gave me an answer...
If i'm not mistaken, selective MAOIs (either MAO-A or MAO-B) doesn't tend to cause this side effect. Only non-selective MAOIs like Parnate and Nardil does.
If i am correct on this, i can only SPECULATE that it is the excessive dopamine responsible... If you think of it, dopamine is destroyed by both the MAO-A and MAO-B subtypes of the enzyme.
