Here is the quote (one of many) I found on the internet in a Google search a month ago: " People almost never get too much vitamin B6 from food. But taking high levels of vitamin B6 from supplements for a year or longer can cause severe nerve damage, leading people to lose control of their bodily movements.Feb 17, 2016"
I checked the multivitamin capsule I was taking each morning and discovered it contained 200% ADA of B6. This on top of a vegetarian diet already rich in B vitamins. My numbness in the legs and the uncontrollable muscle spasms in arms and legs had gotten worse after I started taking them. I stopped the vitamin capsules, went on a gluten free diet, and increased exercise to 5 days a week. I met with the Neurologist at Mayo who was not surprised that a lot of my problem had been identified.

Thank you for your story. I’m sorry what happened but you’ve given me hope. I have a double copy gene mutation where I can’t not absorb folate b12. Got neuropathy from that until I learned how to properly supplement with the methyl formula . However the gen mutation requires also taking b6. Being it’s a water soluble vit I didn’t know you could ever get toxic on it . I too took way way too much since 2016. Today the muscle weakness, cramps , photo sensitivity , lack it muscle ordination, chest pains, shortness of breath have worsened to the point I’m hone bound and can do nothing. After great research I and reviewing history’s of lab reports I discovered I had been toxic in b6 all these years and conductor ever brought it to my attention as alarming. Now I wait to see a neurologist fearful my symptoms will not ever reverse after this long. I did learn once stopping b6 symptom get worse. Which I’m experiencing. Read an article from Australia who this happened to him. Their country this trying to get warning labels but on energy drinks supplements etc. FYI. Magnusium often includes it with their supplements. Even RX meds . I was taking Magnusium with my b6. Magnusium boost absorption. Thank you for your words of hope. I needed it. Pray may knows about this.
