The maximum dosage is 200 mg so you're safe with the 50 or if you take another 50. I'll refrain from my views on physical aids seeing how the forum is about them, not against them.
Hi, I now have access to as much B6 as I would like, and my parents are out so they won't be nagging me. Bearing in mind that I am thirteen, and I NEED AN LD, and I have had 50mg today, how much would be advisable to take?
I am allowed BTW in case you're wondering.

Do keep in mind that 50mg is 2500 times the recommended daily dosis. It won't kill you to do this once in a while, but doing it daily (or even every couple of days) probably isn't too good for you either.
Other than that, know that how motivated and self-assured you are is more crucial that the b6. the vitamins alone probably won't give you your lucid dream, but if you really want it to happen, can convince yourself that it's not that hard (it really isn't!), and can make sure you do not get frustrated if/when your attempts fail, you will find yourself lucid with or without any vitamin b6 soon enough.

is a reality that others cannot see.
Reality
is a dream you share with others.
Wow.
I thought that 6x the daily dosage to turn your urine yellow was a lot.
Guess not xD
You're not an astronaut.

I was considering getting some and then saw that 50mg was way higher than the recommended daily, i may try it though when i get the money for it
Placebo effect aside, I don't think taking a vitamin is going to give you a lucid dream.
Hi,
I'd recommend not taking any at all. I've seen quite a lot of posts on this site saying how much to take and not to take and if you do too you could see the chances are not many people know what they are talking about given the contrasting views. The same applies to melatonin.
Melatonin is created naturally by the brain and B6 is absorbed naturally by the body. However the doses here are not natural ones. Excessive amounts of B6 can overload your nervous system and damage nerve endings. Melatonin is produced by the penial gland in the centre of the brain, also known as the third eye. It is essentially your body clock. Don't mess with it. I have friends from my raving days who have serious chemical imbalances in their brains in particular relating to seratonin and melatonin and it ain't cool.
I think you need to look at why you want to experience lucid dreaming. It is a lot of fun, it is something that has happened to me through my life and I came across this site wanting to find out more about it. But it worries me you say you NEED TO HAVE a lucid dream NOW. Be careful, don't rush, use the journey as a way to relax, learn who you are, where you're coming from and where you're going and to have fun.
There are no magic fixes.
You don't need suppliments, it's all in your mind, you're in control.
Learning to lucid dream takes time. The only method that might help obtaining lucidity in very short order is to use a lucid dream induction device like the Nova Dreamer, Dreammaker, etc ... The investment in time to learn how to use these devices is small. It's more a monetary investment that's required.

Well, I've been taking 100mg of B6 every day for about a month and I feel the same. And I also get a good recall. I also take 3 mg of melatonin, and 400 mg of Valerian root. All before I go to bed. So far, I've gotten great sleep, and I've gotten good recall. Can't go lucid, though. Trying to for about a month also.
Wow.
Bad idea.
100mg is 5000x the recommended daily dosage.
Do that every day, and that's bad.
Just because it is a vitamin doesn't mean that too much isn't bad for you.
I would definately take it easy on the B6.
A month is a very long time to be taking that much every day.
Even if you feel fine.
I wouldn't be surprised if your body became dependant on it soon.
You're not an astronaut.

If 100mg is 5000x the rec. dose, then the rec. dose must be 0.02 mg.
On a website I read that a mango contains 28 mg of vitamin B6 and I eat about half to one mango daily. Does that mean I am taking more than 100x the rec. dose ????? Is that bad ????
PS: Side effects of B6 are caused by B6 supplements and not natural stuff like fruits. So eat mangoes or bananas or grapes or tomatoes.

I am not going to discuss dosage here, but just a detail that has a major influence on my sleep : I used to take my B6 pill when I went to bed, so 2 to 3 hours before going to sleep, and it was very little effective. However, now that I take it right before sleeping, I noticed that my dreams in the morning, and even around 2 am, are much more vivid and memorable.
Killing threads since 2002
Don't get carried away and do too much just because you want an LD. most people LD without taking pills. instead try eating food like potatoes and bananas

Being a bit of a hypocrite i would say you should just lay off taking anything drug related that supposedly helps you, let it come naturally and don't be so darn impatient about it, things take time, nothing happens overnight for alot of people.
B6 is non-perscription. And on my bottle of 100mg tablets the directions read "take 1 100mg pill daily" Now if what all you are saying is true, that b6 is extremely unhealthy and dangerous. then why would b6 be non-perscription, and have you take 5000x the regular amount daily?
No 100mg isnt dangerous. It cant be.
thats just my 2 cents though. Im probably going to get like a million people flamin me in a second lol

Yea.. my pills are 100mg as well. Excessive amounts can be dangerous though, but I'm not sure what level is excessive.
I think the recommendation is not to exceed 300mg.

The recommended daily dosis of B6 is 1.5-3.0 mg.
50mg=2500x daily dose ... something's wrong ... very wrong ...
I think i heard somewhere that you could take 15000mg at once without any serius troubles (although i would NEVER do it, and i don't recommend anyone to do so). Also you could take 2000mg/day for some weeks without any problems.
My point is that i think that most people is too scared of this ... it really ain't that poisonous...
2500x the daily dose isnt that bad. I took 15,000 times the regular dose of vitiman C 3 days in a row, nothing happened to me.

I know vitamen C is totally different than vitamen B
but seriously, when you drink one bottle of V8 fruit juice or whatever, already you're drinking like 200% your daily vitamen C "requirement"
I'm no expert, but common sense to me says that the limit that everyone seems to be going over is just the amount you need like daily. Or the optimum amount.
of course someone who has sustained use of the vitamen for a long time, they may put their body at risk for god knows what.
bad things only happen from supplements, because there is no possible way you could eat the same amount of B6 naturally
