MAOIs prevent this from happening, which makes more of these brain chemicals available to effect changes in both cells and circuits that have been impacted by depression. scchvxp4g8 https://padlet.com/scchvxp4g8/9moncm6403nmvcib/wish/3144366201 2024-09-29 12:08:47 UTC https://padlet.com/scchvxp4g8/9moncm6403nmvcib/wish/3144366201 Dopamine scchvxp4g8 https://padlet.com/scchvxp4g8/9moncm6403nmvcib/wish/3144370834 In control of movement, learning and attention.

  • Use of MAOIs typically requires diet restrictions and avoiding certain other medications because MAOIs can cause dangerously high blood pressure when taken with certain foods or medications.

  • MAOIs are an older type of antidepressant that are rarely used nowadays. They can cause potentially serious side effects so should only be prescribed by a specialist doctor.

  • The toxic effects of MAOIs are observed when their inhibitory effects on monoamine oxidase are compounded by drug-food interactions, overdose or drug-drug interactions.
