However, I can relive migraine symptoms, the nausea as well as others, when ingesting lisuride. Lisuride is a Parkinson's medication. In some countries, such as France, the drug is also legally marketed as a treatment of impotence in men. A good number of Parkinson's medications are MAO inhibitors. However, monoamines do not only occur as neurotransmitters with a delicate influence on human well-being.
Monoamines are also a common part of many foods.
Classic MAO inhibitors are a dangerous medication. They don't only inhibit the MAO that breaks down the neurotransmitter dopamine, the wished-for effect in the treatment of Parkinson's. They also inhibit the MAO in the digestive tract where it digests foods such as cheese. And that can be very dangerous because those tyramines of which there are plenty in cheese then make it into the neuronal control system where they mimic noradrenalin and cause increased blood pressure and heart rate, possibly leading to death. Wow, cheese as a deadly poison.
