Once you discover you have Vitamin B6 toxicity (pyridoxine and p5p are other names), the first step is to stop taking any added B6. Check all your supplements, drinks, electrolytes and foods. It sneaks it's way into many products, and we highlight them on this page. Read labels on EVERYTHING that goes in your mouth. Even mints.

It's almost like going through drug withdrawals. Your entire body freaks out, when the B6 stops. Prepare your family. Many become bedridden for a time.

Symptoms come and go with no rhyme or reason. Then, you feel like you are finally coasting, and NOPE, out of nowhere comes a flare again. So the roller coaster continues.

POTS and dizziness, insomnia, night sweats, crushing anxiety and paranoia, tingling and buzzing and pain all over your body, feelings of fear and anger, extreme fatigue and weakness, extreme sensitivity to lights and sounds, not feeling like YOU. All symptoms that plague so many with B6 toxicity. And more! Not everyone gets all of the symptoms, but these are just some of the more typical ones that we see talked about in the group.

It takes YEARS to heal the damage. I have not heard of one single person even years out that doesn't have some lingering effect. But most people heal at least 90%. So there's hope!

This is why we need more research. We need scientists to figure out why this is happening to us, how to help it when it does happen, and some treatments that can help us through the process. And some legislation so that companies can't put so much B6 in their products!
