Lightbulb I only have time for a quick response today...

we are leaving for the summer.

I did post to you on the other thread, about the magnesium oxide.
This form of magnesium is almost useless. You need to find another.
If you check your other post I have details, there.

Your Diovan/HCT depletes magnesium and thiamine. I don't think there is enough thiamine in a standard OTC multivit to make up for this loss. So you can consider some thiamine separately. 200mg/300mg daily in divided doses.
If you decrease your B-50...at least supplement folic acid and thiamine instead.

High B6 can imply poor conversion to activated P5P... this is not well understood, but high serum levels imply your muscles and liver are not taking it up, from food or your multi. Your estrogen should be depleting B6 as well.
So this is a puzzle.

See you in Sept.

You can read about nutrient depletions and drugs in these references:

Drug-Induced Nutrient Depletion Handbook by Pelton and LaValle RPhs.

And The Side Effects Bible by Frederick Vagnini MD.
