Default B6 toxicity

Added this to the b6 thread...
Came across this as one of the causes of nueropathy. Quit talking all multi vitamin supplements to see if my symptoms would improve. Got tested a week after being off vitamin supplements and my level was 106.5. I couldn't find any information about at which point B6 becomes toxic and causes nueropathy. Not sure if it is my problem or not but it would make sense since I started getting nueropathy when I was training hard and drinking lots of sports drinks and started to feel crummy so I started loading up on the vitamins. My Doctor had given me a vitamin drink that was making me sick everytime I drank it and it was loaded with a couple days worth of B6 in every scoop. If this is the cause what can I do to rid my body of the excess? i read that a visit to an endocrinologist would be in order. I am sure my doctor will tell me my levels are fine though. Any more information on this topic would be helpful.

Default Take a look at--

http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/thread30724.html

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitamin_B6#Toxicity (Take a look specifically at the references here)

The problem with B6 toxicity is that almost all the references are based on anecdotal reports--there really hasn't been a systematic review of those, or controlled experiments. There is some evidence, though, that this happens mostly in those with a genetic malfunction that makes conversion to the active form of pyridoxine difficult, which allows a buildup of precursor B6 in the body. Those who take the already converted/activated p-5-p form seem to avoid this problem.
