while my nerve pulsing or muscle twitching symptom before I even started taking any b6, however it is getting worse. Somewhere I read that vitamin b6 can cause nerve pulsing or muscle twitching or paresthesia. Right now I am taking a b complex with 10mg of b6. I take 4 a day with a total of 40mg of b6. The amount seems to help me with the pain. The recommended dosage for b6 is about 2mg. I went to the store and saw the 50gm, 100gm, and 200mg
I want to know if 40mg is too high or can increase the sensation |

Vitamin B6 works with other vitamins, and minerals.
If those are low, the B6 cannot do its job properly. Your complex should have B2 in it? B2 is the cofactor for activating B6 in the body to pyridoxal. Also magnesium is necessary, and if you are low in this, you may have muscle twitching or cramping as a symptom. Do not use magnesium oxide--as it is not absorbed well. Here is my magnesium thread: http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/thread1138.html That thread explains food sources, what magnesium does, and which supplements are best. There are suggestions for topical use also. Magnesium is a cofactor to process essential fatty acids in your food for use by the cells and nerves. Some people are very sensitive to B6. Why don't you start with one of those a day, and increase if you need to over time. If you stay under 100mg a day, you should be okay. But some people need to stay under 50mg a day and it is impossible to predict who those sensitive people are.

If you do not eat any foods high in magnesium then take the RDA dose.
Many people can get by using 1/2 the RDA...or 200mg a day, of elemental magnesium. I explain elemental on that link. Magnesium can be depleted by many drugs as well, including alcohol, and caffeine and other diuretic drugs. It is lost in diabetics daily also in the urine. Poor stomach acid may prevent magnesium from being absorbed from food.
