In cases associated with sudden discontinuation of MAO inhibitors (MAOIs), acute psychosis has been observed. [2] [11] [12] Over fifty symptoms have been reported. [13] The SNRI venlafaxine has been reported to have a higher incidence in withdrawal symptoms after discontinuation when compared to other SNRIs. [14]
[13] [7] [19] [2] It is a selective inhibitor of monoamine oxidase B (MAO-B) at lower doses but additionally inhibits monoamine oxidase A (MAO-A) at higher doses. [ 13 ] [ 7 ] [ 19 ] [ 2 ] MAO-B inhibition is thought to result in increased levels of dopamine and β-phenethylamine , whereas MAO-A inhibition results in increased levels of ...
Some MAOIs inhibit both MAO-A and MAO-B equally, other MAOIs have been developed to target one over the other. MAO-A inhibition reduces the breakdown of primarily serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine; selective inhibition of MAO-A allows for tyramine to be metabolised via MAO-B. [43] Agents that act on serotonin, if taken with another ...

The Basics of Losing Weight After 40. Losing weight can be challenging at the best of times. But after the big 4-0, a few more challenges pop up, making weight gain common and weight loss harder.
Rasagiline acts as an inhibitor of the enzyme monoamine oxidase (MAO) and hence is a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI). [2] More specifically, it is a selective inhibitor of monoamine oxidase B (MAO-B). [2] The drug is thought to work by increasing levels of the monoamine neurotransmitter dopamine in the brain. [2]
