Malcolm, DE., et al. 1994. Phenelzine reduces
plasma vitamin B6. J Psychiatry Neurosci. Nov;19
(5):332-4.

"Plasma levels of the active form of vitamin B6 (pyridoxal phosphate) in 19 patients taking
phenelzine were found to be reduced on the average to approximately 54% of the value in a control group. There was no correlation of pyridoxal phosphate level with phenelzine daily dosage over the range of 30 mg to 90 mg. No symptoms of vitamin B6 deficiency peripheral neuropathy were found."

"...the present results suggest that it would probably be advisable to supplement the diet with vitamin B6 if a patient were known to be in a poor nutritional state or if there were increased
demands, for example post surgery or serious physical illness."
