Curcumin question

First time poster; please forgive any mistakes in etiquette or protocol.
Since curcumin acts as an MAO inhibitor, does that mean that sudden discontinuation will cause someone who has been taking it for more than a month to suffer withdrawal similar to pharmaceutical MAOIs? I haven't found any research or even anecdotes on the subject.
Brief background:
I have been taking curcumin for some time now and have had severe concomitant anxiety, though presumed it had more to do with recent events in my life and only recently concluded that it must be elevated adrenaline and noradrenaline caused by the curcumin. This was made more apparent by other symptoms of high noradrenaline like severe sweating, cold extremities, elevated heart rate, and poor sleep.
Suffice to say I'd like to at least lower the dose of curcumin as quickly as possible, and was wondering if anyone has encountered research addressing dependency and withdrawal, or can speak from experience.
Thank you for reading, I greatly appreciate any response.

I hope doing so is not considered obnoxious, but I do value your opinion.

That should not be an issue, as it is a very weak MAOI. It's not something I have ever seen a report of.
