How MAOIs work. Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitor Antidepressants (MAOIs) work by binding with and stopping the activity of monoamine oxidase, an enzyme found throughout the body.Monoamine oxidase breaks down a number of chemicals made and used by the body and brain.AOIs also increase the amounts of other chemicals in the body and especially some chemicals which are found in food and other medications. Because they increase chemicals other than noradrenaline and serotonin MAOIs can have serious and dangerous side effects if you are not careful about certain foods and other drugs.
Like most antidepressants, MAOIs work by changing the levels of one or more of these naturally occurring brain chemicals. An enzyme called monoamine oxidase is involved in removing the neurotransmitters norepinephrine, serotonin and dopamine from the brain.MAOIs prevent this from happening, which makes more of these brain chemicals available.This is thought to boost mood by improving brain cell communication. MAOIs also affect other neurotransmitters in the brain and digestive system, causing side effects.MAOIs are sometimes used to treat conditions other than depression, such as Parkinson's disease.ide effects of MAOIs. Because of side effects and safety concerns, MAOIs are most often tried when other antidepressants don't work. The most common side effects of MAOIs include: 1  Dry mouth. 2  Nausea, diarrhea or constipation. 3  Headache.
