Getting toxicities from B6 is very difficult. Most of the few cases were in the upper ranges back when B6 was given for PMS in 500mg doses.

Traditional doses today are suggested to avoid over 100mg a day.

The P5P is 33mg/tablet.

B6 is an odd nutrient...when low it gives neuropathy. When toxic it gives neuro symptoms too. Because of this it is hard to gauge.

It is your decision after all in the end.

The enzyme that activates it in the body is pyridoxal kinase and that is dependent on B2, riboflavin in order to work.

You may have something all together different going on with you, as well.
