And the catechins in green tea are COMT inhibitors?

It would be interesting to combine them.

What about bioavailability of these substances? I read green tea catechins are poorly absorbed.

Reboxetine on selegiline was rather unpleasant in my experience. I have reason to believe I may have excessive levels of noradrenaline. I also did not fare well on mirtzapine, which increases noradrenaline release by blocking alpha2-adrenergic autoreceptors. I almost got some kind of cramps in my neck (I do not recall clearly).

Tobacco too, it seems:

That's news to me. Good to learn something.

> I believe the beta carbolines were originally identified as the first endogenous benzodiazepine antagonists. There is another endogenous compound called isatin which is both a MAOI and a benzodiazepine receptor antagonist. It is released during stress (I presume to give a quick fight / flight response).

Interesting. Apparently it (isatin) is a metabolite of adrenaline.

How often do you take it? Is there any tolerance?
