Hello,
I know that it is suggested to supplement Nardil with Vitamin B6, but of course I've also heard that too much can cause neuropathy. Does anyone know a suggested amount of Vitamin b6 to take as a supplement to Nardil usage? I've wanted to try a B-complex supplement, but I'm afraid that it would be too much? Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Mantus

Also, do you know of any other supplements that work with Nardil that might help anxiety/depression? I'm not doing too bad right now, but I've never really looked into vitamins or other supplements that might be beneficial. Thanks for any response.
Thanks,
Mantus

I take 100 mg daily of B6 just to counteract the affect of Nardil on the nutrient. Ironically, like you said, too much B6 leads to peripheral neuropathology; too weird. It does seem to help with my carpal tunnel and some neuropathology in my lower legs. A year ago, when my doctor used the tuning fork on my ankles, I could not even feel it. Now it is quite noticeable. The B6 probably helped some, along with losing about another 40 lbs.I am a real believer in supplements. When everybody around me is sick, I rarely even catch a cold now.
Here is what I take daily:
Muti: Centrum Silver - Costco generic
Vit C 500 mg - 1000mg if I feel a cold coming on
Vit D3 400 IU - Almost everybody is deficient in this - Especially in the
winter
Vit E 800 IU
Vit B6 100 mg - Nardil depletes B6 and can lead to peripheral neuropathy
CoQ-10 300 mg - Just a great antioxidant
Magnesium 400 mg
DHA 1200 mg - Omega3 - This is a no-brainer,
EPA 1800 mg - Omega3 - another no-brainer
Be well my friend,
Jedi
