You may be one of those people, who does not convert B6 to its active form. Hence it builds up in the system. P-5-P is the activated form, and better tolerated.

Most doctors do not know this... pyridoxal kinase enzyme in the liver converts pyridoxine from diet and vitamins to its active form called pyridoxal phosphate. This may fail because of drugs used, or genetic failures. Almost all combo OTC vitamins contain regular inactive B6 called pyridoxine. Unless of course otherwise stated on the label.

Also some people read high on B6... mostly in the autistic community.
Here is my B6 thread:
