Not taking B complex, just get the problem when I take B6. B complex totally makes me hyper and there is no hope of sleeping when I take that. The problem started when I began taking B6, and got better about 2 - 3 days after I stopped it. But now that I have resumed the problem is totally back. By the way, I also do take prescription strength folic acid, but I have been on that for several years with no problem, and the current problem is undoubtedly related to the B6. GW
> Are you taking a B complex too, or just the B-6? I have always heard it's best not to take any B in isolation. If you are, then it may be beneficial to take a low dose complex, or vice versa. If you are taking a complex, which is going to add to the B6 too, then how do you know it's the B-6 that's the one having all the impact?

Dosage doesn't seem to matter much, it happens with 100 mg., or 50 mg. or even just 25 mg. I am taking 50 mg. but I am getting really tired of being wound up so tight. Please advise!
