When you take a MAOI...you are hindering or blocking the action of the monoamine oxidases that metabolize tyramine. Therefor you get a buildup of tyramine in your system which has the potential to cause ill effect.
---------------------
I get it now. So I wonder if eating a lot of tyramine-rich foods can make people ill...or would your body just metabolize it more quickly?

There is no particular reason why I'm asking all these questions-I don't take an MAOI..I'm just curious.
