vitamin b6 and pregnancy

m concerned about possible effects a high dosage of b6 has on pregnancy and developing baby. But I also read that since b6 helps produce progesterone, if you stop taking it right after getting pregnant your progesterone levels will decrease putting the pregnancy at risk. Please advise. Thank you.

b6 can cause alot more than depression. it can cause irreversible nerve damage. from personal experience, be careful how much you take. 100mg-200mg daily for me caused some very disturbing symptoms. numbness, tingling, pricks/pins/needles, shocks, buzzing/vibrating, muscle twitches, muscle weakness, severe fatigue, diziness, lighheadedness, anxiety, irritability etc. was diagnosed with b6 toxicity recently. beware of b6. it is a dangerous "water-soluble" vitamin.

Yes I've heard the vitamin b6 and unisom help and it did. Just wondering if it worked for some and then stopped working?

s a combo medicine of B6 and unisom. It has done wonders for me and I have hyperemesis gravidarum so I have very severe sickness.

Has anyone taken vitamin B6 to help their metabolism to loose weight? And if so, did it work?

Has anyone ever tried b6 for nausea? If so, did it work and did you notice the effects immediately or did it take time to kick in?

You may need to take vitamin b6 and magnesium to help the progesterone synthesize...? I heard progesterone supplements have trouble working if your vitamin b levels are low. Vitamin b6 especially goes hand in hand with progesterone. And for vitamin b6 to work, you have to take it with other vitamin b's, like a prenatal or b complex. I'm taking vitamin b6 along with my prenatal.

A typical dose of vitamin B6 for morning sickness is 10mg-25mg 3x's a day.

I just got promethazine from the doctor and it's definitely working..you can try the wrist bands for motion sickness...

pyridoxine, an alcohol; pyridoxal, an aldehyde; and pyridoxamine, which contains an amino group; and their respective 5'-phosphate esters. Pyridoxal 5' phosphate (PLP) and pyridoxamine 5' phosphate (PMP) are the active coenzyme forms of vitamin B6 [1,2]. Substantial proportions of the naturally occurring pyridoxine in fruits, vegetables, and grains exist in glycosylated forms that exhibit reduced bioavailability.

I recently had my vitamins and minerals checked and all were within range except for B6 which was 558 nmol/L (range 30-110 nmol/L). I was on a b complex (50mg b6) and multivitamin on and off for alot of last year just on days I felt a bit run down. When I got really ill last October I was pretty much taking my multi b (50mg b6) and multivitamin (25mg b6) every day up until I got my b6 result a couple of weeks ago.

What does B6 help with?

and its much more of B12 vitamins that would adjust the levels that deal with anxiety than a b6 vitamin. good luck and if you feel its working.. keep taken them..

Hi, Regarding vitamin B6, a water soluble vitamin is essential for the normal and optimal functioning of the body. The Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) is the average daily dietary intake level that is sufficient to meet the nutrient requirements. RDAs for vitamin B6 (in milligrams), are: 1.3 mg for men and women under age 50; 1.7 mg for men and 1.5 mg for women over the age of 50, 1.9 mg for pregnant women, and 2 mg for women who are breastfeeding.

2) Unisom/B6 cominbination - One 25 mg Vitamin B6 tablet and ½ Unisom tablet in the Morning - One 25 mg Vitamin B6 tablet and ½ Unisom tablet at Noon - One 25 mg Vitamin B6 tablet and 1 Unisom tablet at Bedtime. Make sure you get the Unisom with Doxylamine in it. 3) Emetrol – It is an over the counter anti-nausea medication. It didn’t work for me, but others swear by it.

I have been reading the posts on Vitamin b6 toxicity. I started having the pins and needles 6 months ago. My neurologist did a B6 test and my B^ level was 1400. I take no vitamins with b6 in them only Calcium and B3. I checked to make sure there was no B6. Since then it has fluxuated with the lowest being 285. I had a blood test last week and it is back up to 1000. Do you have any ideas of what to do next. My neurologist suggested that maybe I should see a endrocronologist.

B6 toxicity is nothing to fool around with, and remember, B6 is in balance with B12 and folic acid, so long-term use of just one of these will throw the others out of balance. I'd find another treatment plan.

Thyroid UK - The Role of Vitamins in Thyroid Deficiency The Tolerable Upper Intake Level (all sources both diet and supplements) for vitamin B6 is 100 mg daily. The first major report of vitamin B6 toxicity appeared in the early 1980's. Until then, scientists believed vitamin B6 was like other water soluble vitamins and can could not be toxic. The reports of neurological damage were after taking 200mcg of vitamin B6 daily for two months or more.

You can also take half a blue unisom sleep tablet and a vitamin b6 at night. It's completely safe, the medications interact with each other and it helps with nausea. They actually sell them in one pill in Canada but not in the states.

Peaches, Milk, Peas, Carrots, Ground Beef, Brown Rice, Soybeans, Avocado, Banana, and Turkey. Suggest going to your MD and get blood work done to see your vitamin B6 levels.

I took it.. and mine said the same thing ..

You could avoid supplements that contain B6 and limit your intake of foods rich in vitamin B6, such as fortified cereal, bananas, salmon, turkey, chicken, potatoes, spinach and hazelnuts.

Did you learn this from your doctor? Just wondering because one would think the doc would have something to say about this. If you look at the archives of MedHelp on this and other sites there are some very long threads about B6 neuropathy, which is the main concern some suffer when taking large amount of it. They generally speak of nerve pain, but there are other possible symptoms. Are you supplementing with it?

My doctor also suggested unisom and b6. When I had the virus and vomiting she told me to take 25 mg B6 with 1/2 tablet of unisom up to 3 x's a day. It worked pretty well for me.
