Hi Desperado, I don't know about it being too much, but I am taking a Vit B complex which has B6 in it amongst all the usual other B vits.
What did your doctor put you on them for?
Sorry I can't help much.

Hi Claire ,it was to regulate my periods two years ago,they are fine now was just a bit nervous as I had read a few other threads on the forum and people were taking much less.thanks for replyingXxx

Hi, I found the following item:

Not sure if it will help answer any questions.

I have read on a few sites and in some medical journals that B6 helps reduce morning sickness symptoms but I can't remember the doses mention.

Might be worth phoning your doctor for clarification

I took 50mg until I was about 15 weeks - basically until I was sure the placenta had taken over. As Macwooly said it is used to treat morning sickness and I have seen 50mg suggested as the daily dosage.
