Avatar m tn About 18 years ago, I started taking Welbutrin and Cylert (which is now off the market). Although this was just to correct SLIGHT chemical depression and alertness, it also caused a rather pronounced and noticeable short term memory loss! I decided that, either I "cure" this memory problem, or the benefit ratio was horrible, and I'd stop taking any of these drugs. But, I did find a cure--in spades.
Avatar f tn i've read on the internet that deficiency of vitamin B1 B3 B6 and B12 might make worse the feeling of anxiety and stress. does anyone know if these vitamins will help with this feelings of anxiety and stress?
730826 tn?1317943334 Has anyone taken vitamin B6 to help their metabolism to loose weight? And if so, did it work?
6534481 tn?1398018501 Yes! 50mg vitamin B6 with half a 25mg tablet of unisom every night before bed. By the second night I had relief and took it religiously up until 3rd trimester.
Avatar n tn s levels of the mood controlling neurotransmitters serotonin and dopamine, (according to the Office of Dietary Supplements). On the other hand, vitamin B-12 is related to memory, with low levels of B-12 associated with both dementia and Alzheimer's disease. On a normal basis it is usually actually highly recommended to take all b vitamins together, and that's when they will also work best. Hope that helped!
Avatar f tn i became B6 toxic from a prenatal vitamin with 12 mg of B6 in it. i took it for 7 weeks before suspecting it was due to the vitamins. it has been reeking havoc on my body and i have not been responding well to detox. i was trying to reach out to someone who had the same situation.
1596950 tn?1297352500 My son is on keppra (has been on it for only 3months), he also takes B6 for the aggression and it seems to help. However, I have also noticed more instances of learning delays and mood swings where he hits his head on the wall or throws himself down. I know my dr said that he would get better the longer he is on it, but sometimes it seems to get worse. You should ask your dr about vitamin B6.
Avatar f tn For the last three months I have experienced general weakness, nausea, loss of appetite, weak short term memory, low blood pressure, shortness of breath after launch or exercise, heart palpitation specially after eating, dizziness after exercise, depression and anxiety. I consulted my MD about two months ago. He prescribed some blood tests and about 7 sessions of B complex, B6 and B12 shots. All my blood tests were normal.
Avatar f tn 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. Reading up on B6 toxicity it certainly explain alot of my symptoms (especially the neuropathy, which I had nerve conduction test for about a month ago and came up normal!). My question is, is my level considered a b6 toxicity? Has anyone had similiar levels and recovered?
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar f tn Among the most important nutrients are calcium, magnesium, zinc, chromium, selenium, iodine, L-glutamine, L-taurine, choline, thiamine, vitamin B6, vitamin B12, other B-complex vitamins, omega-3 fatty acids, and vitamin D.
746450 tn?1232980816 I was put on a Vitamin B/Mineral supplement after I had my second son, due to the MTHFR. Does anyone else have to take it? I am suppoed to take it for the rest of my life. I haven'thad insurance for four years and I can't remember for the life of me what it is called.
Avatar f tn I was wondering if anyone here knew anything about Vitamin B6 toxicity. I have discovered my blood level is high at 124.2 ng/mL (normal = 2.1 - 21.7 ng/mL). I am experiencing some strange symptoms like blurred vision, humming in my ears, difficulty swallowing and lack of coordination and numbness in my hands and feet. I know the numbness can be a symptom, but I am unsure about the other things. I also am unsure if it's possible to have a high blood level of B6 and not have toxicity.
Avatar m tn Vitamin B6 is found naturally in our foods, however, B6 supplements are the main reason for toxicity of vitamin B6. Long term (2+ years) supplementation of 500-5,000mg/day will result in medical issues, such as neuropathy which maybe reversible with discontinuing the supplement and lowering high B6 foods. The recommended daily dose is 1.3mg for men & women ages 19-50 and 1.7 for men >50 years old.
1209948 tn?1266069659 It is recommended not to take any supplement of vitamin B6 and try not to eat large amounts of foods high in vitamin B6 at meals for 6 months.

It is a required vitamin and is needed in numerous necessary processes in our bodies. Eat with caution and small amounts.
Avatar m tn Thanks for your comment on Vitamin B6 toxicity. I'm wondering if a long term B6 blood level of 90 (with 2 - 21.1 being normal) could cause sensory neuropathy? Thank you.
