> I tried DLPA and it didn't do anything. I have the same question as the previous poster, does that mean that PEA wouldn't help me. Also, I'm not taking an MAOI, I'm just on Seroxat.
To make PEA work, the patient must be taking an MAOI. More specifically, the MAOI must have an MAOI-B component. MAO-B metabolizes PEA very quickly. Therefore, to raise the level of PEA in the brain, MAO-B must be inhibited.
The following article is an excellent overview of MAOI's, but it is more complex than what is needed to answer your question. Therefore, just read page 3 where it states that MAO-B metabolizes PEA (phenylethylamine).
