I have been taking vitamin B6 for about 2 months now, 100mg a day.  I started taking it due to getting bad PMT at times. The last couple of weeks I keep on getting dizzy spells and just not feeling myself.I have spoken to a doctor who checked me over and said that unless I am being sick or passing out then the occasional dizzy spell is not a problem.  I don't think this is great information. Is it possible for vitamin B6 to be causing these dizzy spells?Any suggestions?Further information, I have had my blood pressure done, my iron levels are fine and he even checked my ears.

Large doses of vitamin B6 can cause neurological disorders and numbness. Deficiency of this vitamin can cause mouth and tongue sores, irritability, confusion, and depression. (Vitamin B6 deficiency is not common in the United States.)

I  am not able to take B complex by iteself because it upsets my stomach and makes me dizzy.   I have taken the B6 by itself w/o any problems.   You may want to keep a daily diary of the time you take  the B6, what was going on that day (hard work, stress, fun activitiy, etc.) and when you get dizzy/how long it lasts etc.   and see if you can find  a pattern.   Take the diary to your doctor the next time you go to see if the doctor can find a reason.  Do you have low blood pressure Huh  Does B6 affect blood pressure??   Have you tried stopping the vitamin regimen to see if the dizzy spells go away??  If you are not happy w/ what the doctor said please please go to another doctor for a 2nd opinion.  You know your body specifically.  Your doctor knows bodies in general.    Your body may not fit the "textbook" description.    Good luck.

Vitamin B6 is usually safe to take for up to 200 milligrams per day. Intakes of more than this recommended dose can lead to neurological side effects. This is caused by the fact that pyridoxine plays a major role in the nervous function in your body. Occasional cases of chest pain, skin rashes, upset stomach, fatigue, loss of appetite and breathing problems have also been reported.
