I remember this study. I would actually like to see more studies done on other selective inhibitors of MAO-A. It seems kind of strange to me that the addition of a MAO-B inhibitor would increase serotonergic neurotransmission since generally MAO-B inhibitors only effect PEA levels. Some strange synergy I guess.
I'm not saying the study isn't right, I'd just like to see other MAO-A selective drugs tested. I have a feeling that not all MAO-A inhibitors would fail as antipanic agents.
