I read that MAO-A is necessary for adequate digestion, so if an industrial strength MAOI puts most of it out of action, it seems all manner of side effects could occur, such as weakness, sore muscles and joints, difficulty concentrating etc. I'm only guessing. It is possible to measure the MAO-A level in a platelet test, but not in NZ I don't think, but MAO-B is more relevant and the level of that only shows up by a spinal tap, which I gather is an unpleasant experience. Driving MAO levels down to zero, while impossible really, sounds insane. Can anyone more knowledgeable comment? Thanks Fred
