     [ "MAO Inhibitors" ]

    1: MonoAmineOxidase-Inhibitors. MonoAmineOxidase-Inhibitors (MAO Inhibitors. MAOIs) are drugs that inhibit the enzyme monoamine oxidase. There are two enzymes that break down dopamine, epinephrine, and norepinephrine: Catecholamine-O-Methyl-Transferase (COMT), and MonoAmineOxidase (MAO). MonoAmineOxidase-Inhibitors are effective antidepressants that make you happy. They help prevent the breakdown of Dopamine, Norepinephrine, and Epinephrine (adrenaline). Dopamine and endorphins are what make you feel happy while the dopamine combined with norepinephrine are what motivates you to do things. MAOIs include but are not limited to: Selegiline, Parnate, Deprenyl (racemic, D-Deprenyl + L Deprenyl), nordeprenyl (racemic), Ethylnordeprenyl (racemic), D-Deprenyl, Parnate, Phenelzine, and Pheniprazine. MAOIs can be combined with: Modafinil, low dose Adderall, low dose Ritalin, Kratom, 7,8-Dihydroxyflavone (tropoflavin) Memantine and low dose Adderall, Afobazole, Opicapone, Diphenylprolinol, and Modafinil and Kratom, Methiopropamine, Prolintane, and more.

      * e.g.,  ... I took 20mg of Selegiline (MAOI), 25mg 7,8-Dihydroxyflavone (tropoflavin), 40mg Methiopropamine (MPA), and 3g Kratom and I was happy. The next day, I took 20mg of Selegiline (MAOI), 50mg Opicapone, 25mg 7,8-Dihydroxyflavone (tropoflavin), 40mg Methiopropamine (MPA), and 3g Kratom and I was superhappy. These MAO Inhibitors are great.

    1: A device shaped like a steel circlet which is placed around the head of a person with psionic mental abilities (telepathy, telekinesis, etc.). The device emits high-frequency radio waves that disrupt the delta wave capabilities of the wearer's brain, thus dampening any psionic abilities. Neural inhibitors have been known to be capable of being reprogrammed to reverse the effect and actually create a barrier for the wearer against any telepathic infiltration or attack.
