Default High Level of Vitamin B6

Hey,

My blood level of B6 is 73 mcg per litre (73 ug/L), which is high. I took 1.25 grams of the vitamin over 2 days, which is too much. Then I stopped when I figured it out. Can this level of B6 cause neuropathic symptoms?
I actually took it because I sensed something that is somewhat similliar to PN. EMG/NCT is fine, so no Large-Fiber Neuropathy at least. Since symptoms began before I took the B6, and are also present after taking it and untill now, I can't tell if any side effects are actually present because of it. The blood test was taken 5 days after I took the vitamin, and 9 days have gone since.
Thank you.

As I understand it too much Vitamin B6 can cause nerve damage.

Many of the neuropathy combo supplements have a lot of B6 and for that reason
I don't take them. Also they did not help me.

I've read anecdotes that large doses even over a short period can cause long-lasting PN symptoms. These should go away after an indefinite period as long as you stop taking it, though. Also read anecdotes that very large doses of B12 and Riboflavin may help in such cases. I'd guess that chances are, if you were already having symptoms before the B6, it's probably not the cause of anything, but I suppose it's possible.
