How much B-6 should I take?

[mfratt]

Sorry if this is the wrong section, but I've been wondering what is the ideal (and safest) amount of Vitamin B-6 to take before bed. I've taken from 100-300mg, and noticed only a mild increase in dream vividness/recall. Would taking Melatonin along with the B-6 help much? Somewhat off-topic, but while I'm asking about sleep aids, how effective is Calea Zacatechichi? I've been thinking about giving that a shot if its worthwhile.

I take 100mg of b-6 when I want to have really vivid dreams. I would not suggest taking it more than maybe 3 times a week. Take it directly before you lay down and go to sleep. If you're like me, you might find yourself waking up to some intense dreams, after a few hours of sleep. Otherwise, you'll sleep through it. Either way, it should boost your dreaming after a couple of uses. Melatonin and B-6 is usually an awesome combination. The B-6 makes your dreams more vivid (and, often, intense) and the Melatonin keeps you asleep, so that you don't wake up in the middle of your adventures. It also helps ensure you get a full 8-hours of sleep, which will make your last REM period much more epic, if you're on B-6 as well. As far as Calea; I've had a lot of good experiences with Calea. It makes my dreams really vivid, almost like the b6, but not as intense (usually).

Well its actually kind of strange for me...two nights ago I tried taking 300mg, and had "average" dreams (fairly vivid, moderate recall), then last night I didn't take any at all and had very vivid dreams and better than my average recall

I take 100mg every other day (sometimes every 3 days) and i'm only 12. On top of that, I'm small for my age, and it has had NO effect on my body whatsoever..asdfasgadg (lol just kidding) (offtopic) Doesn't seem to work very well if at all on me though
