Quote From: joyceymayLately I've been taking 100 mg daily, but you can buy it in smaller doses. The good thing about B vitamins are that they're water soluable, and not as toxic as some other vitamins. If you take too much B6, it will just come out in your urine.
I was taking 100mg and began experiencing some restlessness in my legs and feet...I've been reading reports of peripheral neuropathy with high doses of vitamin B6, so I'm going to try 25 mg a day and up to 50mg if necessary...the RDA is only 2mg so I'm hoping 25mg will suffice without causing side effects. I don't want to give it up as I have noticed such drastic improvements in my PMS...maybe even PMDD. Virtually every symptom has improved to a tolerable level...it's almost too good to be true.
I did try vitamin therapy once before a few years ago but I made the mistake of starting several at once and my symptoms worsened...I had no idea which ones were working and which weren't and I wasn't even sure of the doses so I became overwhelmed and stopped everything...thank God I tried the B6 again...I'm going to go a little slower this time and introduce one vitamin at a time giving each one a couple of months until I'm 100% sure of the effect they have on me. It's difficult to do on your own...my doctor is ...well... oh never mind ...i'm not going there tonight...suffice it to say the internet is more helpful. There is a shortage of doctors here and you don't get a choice.
