As a consequence of the inhibition of MAO, biogenic amines can not be converted into catecholamines, causing a drop or deficiency in neuronal catecholamine stores.

This activity leads to a depression of the sympathetic nervous system, a respiratory depression, general cardiac collapse and death. 4 Natural catecholamine stores may not be depleted for up to 24 hours of continued MAO inhibition. 1 Signs and symptoms following an acute overdosage will usually resolve in three to four days, but may persist for up to two weeks in some patients. 5
