Some B6 is necessary. Extremely high doses in the gram range for a long time can cause a neuropathy. (but that was using pyridoxine, which is not active).

Very low B6 (a deficiency) also causes neuropathy.

This poster, Mel, is using medications that deplete B6, so her need is greater than those not using those medications.
