> Amphetamine is an MAOI? I would assume a very weak one then?
It is a reversible inhibitor, meaning it doesn't disable the enzyme. It inhibits MAO only while there is a (relatively) significant concentration of amphetamine in the brain.
Actually, there are many inhibitors of MAO, some of which are quite common. Few, however, have a lasting impact.
