B-6 vitamin danger!

Hello @linnythepoo - I love that user name! Welcome to Mayo Connect - I'm happy you found us. It is a great place to ask questions, share your health concerns and learn what others with similar health issues are doing for treatment. Yikes is right from my perspective but I have no medical training or background. I would want to get an opinion or see a neurologist first.

Have you received a diagnosis of a form of neuropathy from a neurologist or had any tests to confirm the diagnosis?

I had a roundabout discussion through a 3rd party who I asked to check out a list of supplements that I'm taking for my peripheral neuropathy and this person giving the opinion was a neurologist. They said meh to my supplements and said they would probably recommend Metanx which contains L-methylfolate calcium, an active form of folate, and other essential B vitamins (B6 and B12) instead. B12 is in my list of supplements but I had already heard some bad stuff about B6 so I filed her opinion away under the category - it's my body, my decision. It's really a good idea to learn everything you can about your health condition and any drug used for treatment paying close attention to any side effects. I don't have any medical training or background so this is just based on my opinion and how I've dealt with my own idiopathic small fiber peripheral neuropathy.

I am surprised to hear that vitB6 has such a suspect history in connection with neuropathy. I checked several very well known supplements used for neuropathy and every one contained B6 of various amounts. I also checked my own Bcomplex and this too contained a small quantity. Where has the adverse info about B6 come from.
