I have tried supplementing with B6 on a number of ocasions. Whenever I do, I always become irritable for some reason.
Does anyone else get this ???

Perhaps you could try the P5P version which suits some people better. 50mg a day should be enough for most people.

Hi Linkage. I find that taking B6 with magnesium helps me sleep, but I only take the Magnesium at night. I read that it's not good to take too much B6 because of some problems with neuropathy (I think) at high doses. Since I am ingesting B6 in other ways throughout the day (i.e., via a multi-vitamin, nutritional yeast, foods, etc), when I do take B6 at night, I take only a smidgeon of it. The lowest strength tablet I could find is 50mg, so I take a little chip of it with the Magnesium. By the way, usually I add the B6 to the Magnesium only during the latter half of the second half of my menstrual cycle. So, I take Magnesium every night, and only towards the end of my cycle do I add the chip or flake of B6. Both the magnesium and B6 relax me and help to alleviate irritability. Is it possible you are taking too much?

Hi Linkage. Are you the one who posted a message a while back about how B vitamins in general make you feel worse? I vaguely remember such a post, but I can't remember who posted it. If you were the author of that post, can you tell me how B vitamins make you feel worse? Is it just that they cause or worsen your irritability or is it something else?

I have tried a b50 many times in combination with an SSRI. I always experienced really weird effects and irritability.
I can take folic acid, no problem with an SSRI, but others esp, b6 cause problems.

B vitamins, and probably pyridoxine in particular disturbed my sleep, making it flickery (only half asleep).
