Nardil worked well for me for a few years but side effects and dietary restrictions were bothersome. As I titrated off 90mg over a period of a few months I became manic (I had never before experienced mania or even hypomania). Has anyone ever heard of MAOI withdrawal triggering a manic episode?
Also I believe I developed a vitamin B6 deficiency in the months before I went off Nardil (I had cracking at the corners of my mouth characteristic of a deficiency). At the same time I developed dark spots and later indentations on my front teeth as well as others. Perhaps this was from the vitamin B6 deficiency. Has anyone ever heard of damage to teeth occuring because of MAOI usage?
