User Reviews for pyridoxine (vitamin b6)

I actually forget why I started taking this. I had heard it helped with headaches, HBP, hair loss, among other things. It has not helped with my HBP, but it has helped tremendously with headaches. A side benefit was my hair and nails are in better condition. I am B12 deficient, and am now taking all the B vitamins. I was taking B2, which helps with everything, too, but it makes me super nauseous. I was a little nervous about taking B6, B-complex, and Multi-vitamin, but I just added them up, and they are less than 150mg a day. I may take an extra 100mg a day and see if it helps with my HBP after all.Read More Read Less

I was on Pyridoxine B6 for a hormone unbalance and anxiety for a number of years it helped me so much better then taking any drugs and I only took 50mg a day amazing vit

I have been suffering from Carpal Tunnel for almost a year.Going to get steroids at the hospital was very expensive and it did not last. I began taking Vit B6 200mg daily and it has healed the condition by 80%. It's only been a month since I started!

highly effective for sleep, remembering dreams & mood

I heard this could help relieve water retention and began to take a supplement. However, after 2 weeks of taking this, my stomach began to hurt, after a few days more it was extremely tender to the touch. Everywhere from top of my stomach to the bottom of my abdomen was tender and so incredibly painful that I may nee to seek ER treatment if it persists...I am going to discontinue use and hope it stops.

My oncologist recommended B6, 100mg. daily, for chemo-induced neuropathy in my feet and ankles. After taking this for about 6 wks. I have noticed significant improvement, not so much numbness and no pain. It definitely DOES work..at least for me it did. I will continue taking it.

I am not diabetic but I had pains in my feet and numbness in my toes. My neurologist put me on Metanx, with is a Vitamin B Complex with acid. My pains are much better now.

A chance discovery that it might be effective in overcoming sciatica, which had lasted 14 months and showed no sign of improving. The pain and numbness in my left leg gets less every day after one month of using 25mg a day, (I cut a 50mg tablet in half). The downside appears to be wind and pain in colon (which may be coincidental) but at the moment I am loath to cut back on the B6 intake as after 14 months of barely being able to stand without sweat streaming down my face, life is wonderful again. N.B. I had 2 X-rays on my back which showed only minor disc compression on L1/L2 followed by physiotherapy but the pain continued. Read More Read Less

Does anyone know if it can cause migraine headaches possibly? I works great for mood but have had migraines off and on since taking it. Just curious

Reduced use of inhalant from 2 puffs to 1 in the morning and evening. Name brand is: Vitacost Pridoxine HCI Vitamin B 6 100mg

I developed Fibromyalgia at 29. Nothing helped. I found a book called "B6 A Dr's Report" written in the 70's. I started taking B6 and was out of pain for the first time in 3 years. Over time I have learned that all natural and non-timed release work best. I have taken the Stress B+ from Douglas Labs for over 20 years. During good times I take 1 and when the weather gets screwy, I take 2. My doctors are amazed at how well I am doing and that I rarely take pain medications. Since starting to take B6, I have gone from unable to walk more than a few steps to hiking all day in the mountains. As a side note, when I was discovering B6, my cousin started giving B6 to my uncle for Diabetes Neuralgia. His tolerance for blood sugar changes was very small. He would quickly go into low or high blood sugar states while still having blood sugar in the "normal" range. After starting to take the B6, he started having more "normal" tolerance for blood sugar changes. He was still diabetic but it didn't affect his life as much. He was elderly and passed but his life was much improved.Read More Read Less

Not sure if it has caused my feet to overheat or if this is still a side effect of the chemodrug which I stopped taking 4 weeks ago but still have trouble with my feet.

I took B6 IM and it made me very tired during the day. My joints also ache.

I started using 50 Mg and saw a huge difference in my mood. I went from very depressed and moody to only slight irritation the next period. My overall mood has improved tremendously as well.
