Hi All,
I have now been using vitamin B6 to control my seizures for over 38 years. Please read my story:

A high dose of vitamin B6 may cause Peripheral Neuropathy.
Vitamins can interfere with other medication.

Kim,Vitamin B12 deficiency can lead to serious nerological disorders. I haven't heard about B6. I think that's more of a circulation type vitamin, but I'm certainly no expert.I take B12 injections for anemia, but I haven't noticed any effect it has on seizure activity. There's an easy blood test for B12 anemia.Lemond
