Increased monoamine oxidase would decrease bioactivity of PEA which can be highly anxiogenic. MAO inhibitors are notorious for causing insomnia.
Wouldn't increaseing MAO also decrease brain levels of tryptamine as MAO inhibitors prolong the biological activity of tryptamine?
There are a number of other trace amines with high binging to the amygdala which are elevated with monoamine oxdiase inhibition.
Dispite the efficacy of Nardil in GAD, monoamine oxidase inhibitors can be highly anxiogenic. Consider the endogenious MAO inhibitor isatin. It is increased by stress, and can prolong the psychological response to stress.
My main reason for wanting to increase monoamine oxidase was to counteract the decrease in monoamine oxidase caused by exercise indused isatin increase.
