There may be a feedback loop for MAO production. I know for SSRIs, prenatal use is associated with elevated serotonin transporer levels in the offspring. Thus the offspring adapt to the drug's presence during development and decide to have a higher set point of serotonin transporter as the new "normal".
There are MAO inhibition level tests. One could have such a test over time with MAO therapy to see if an constant blood level results in steady MAO inhibition.
