what could be happening here is that whilst P5P is acting to upregulate DA biosynthesis, FAD-induced MAO stimulation is accelerating catabolism or conversion of DA to the anxiogen NA...
5HT levels would also be expected to suffer from MAO activity in favour of its (methylated) tryptamine or kynurenine(?) derivatives which are also anxiogens
Afterall without enough dietary P5P tryptophan gets converted into the anxiogen kynurenine...
Just a thought
