Risks?
Gansta just do not take high doses of B6 for many days in a row.
In my case I notice a difference with a dose of 200 mg of B6, but this difference does not justify the side effects such as nausea.
What are the risks of taking too much B6?
Toxic effects of too much B6 include:
•Sensory Neuropathy: “Symptoms include pain and numbness of the extremities, and in severe cases difficulty walking. Sensory neuropathy typically develops at doses of pyridoxine in excess of 1,000 mg per day. However, there have been a few case reports of individuals who developed sensory neuropathies at doses of less than 500 mg daily over a period of months”
•Increased Dream Recall: Interestingly enough, one source on B6 refers to its effects on dreams in relation to toxicity, writing “in moderate toxicity (B6 produces) an increased (capacity for) dream recall.”

Yesterday jus for curiosity I took 150 mg of Vitamin B6. Results: I had to get up 4 or 5 times during the night to use the bathroom. I had like 6 or 7 dreams of which I only remember fragments and two of which I can remember quite a few details . What was different is that if one of the dreams that I can remember was pretty violent and unpleasant. When I have time I'll put it in my dream journal.
