Thanks for the concern Melody!

I sent you a PM. But I'd cut back on the B6 to 50mg a day or less. You can take your 100mg to use up, just take it once or twice a week instead of every day. If you don't have B2 you cannot convert the B6 (pyridoxine) to active pyridoxal and it may build up in your system over time.

Many people who come here suspecting B6 overuse, just stop it completely for 2 weeks or a month, and see if there is a difference.
