It's my understanding that PEA without MAO-B inhibition produces no effects, at a dose up to at least 1 gram. At least that's what Shulgin reports. I haven't tried PEA without selegiline, except via phenylalanine (which gets decarboxylated to PEA).

Sadly, that is very true.

That is what amphetamines do in ADHD, often referred to as a "paradoxical calming effect".

I experienced it myself, with the first few doses of PEA.
