B-6 vitamin danger!

Hi! I’m new to this post. I took a b complex supplement this weekend and it has absolutely made me sick. Nausea. Anxiety. And shaking/trembling. All vitamins in the complex were 1200% the daily allowance. What was I thinking? How could they sell this at that recommended dosage? My question is are there any tricks to stop the shaking? It seems to be the main lingering symptom. I’m on day 4 of no vitamins and I just took the single recommended dose. Any help appreciated.

Hi @eeklady -- I have no medical training or background but anyone with neuropathy has to be super careful with B6. You might want to check with your local doctor or pharmacist about your symptoms. The recommended daily allowance of B6 for adults is less than 2 mg and if your b complex supplement is 1200% daily allowance that would be a big problem unless your B6 levels are being monitored by your doctor. Here's a fact sheet that may be helpful:
