I can't address your question as a whole because I just don't know, but I did want to point out one error in your arguement. Phenylalanine is not converted to phenylethylamine by MAO-B. This must be catalyzed by a different enzyme. MAO-B instead quickly breaks down phenylethylamine, so taking a MAO-B inhibitor will allow PEA to accumulate. Note: I'm taking DLPA and 10mg of selegiline right now and not noticing any strong antidepressive qualities yet.
