Yes, it can. But typically it only happens at very high mega doses.
It was first illustrated in people following Linus Pauling, and taking massive multigram amounts of Vitamin C (more than 10 grams a day and much higher).
People also inherit dependencies that are genetic...requiring high doses for life. Some babies are born with B6 dependency, and have seizures without high dose therapy.
It remains not too common, however. Dr. Bruce Ames PhD, biochemist, believes many people have genetic errors in B vitamin chemistries, like the MTHFR polymorphisms, but affecting other B's.... It is his belief than alot of illness is due to inability to run enzyme systems because NOT ENOUGH of certain B's are being consumed for these errors.
So the best way to supplement is to be sensible about it.
You can Google "vitamin dependency" and learn more about it.
