Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors
Monoamine oxidase inhibitors are very effective medications for treating generalized anxiety disorder, including social phobia and panic disorder. In people with these conditions, levels of neurotransmitters in the brain, such as norepinephrine, serotonin, and dopamine, are low. Monoamine oxidase inhibitors work by preventing a chemical called monoamine oxidase from removing neurotransmitters from the brain. This can help improve cell communication and moods over time. While these medications are very effective, they may lead to serious side effects. You need to have a restrictive diet as tyramine in certain foods would cause a significant surge in blood pressure.
