Is it a coincidence??
Posted , 12 users are following.
I've been taking B6 for a couple if months but while out yesterday I found a Holland and Barretts so bought some Busy B's. I took my first one this morning, within 2 hrs my urine is ill luminous and now, late afternoon I feel awful, really light headed, foggy and dizzy!
Do you think this could be a coincidence or has anyone else experienced the same thing? I feel as if I just want to sleep.

I've never tried busy Bs so do not know what is in them, are they a H&B own brand? I guess you could wait a few days and see if the same thing happens again. What is in your usual B vit? compare the packs?

heres some info about B complexes in general, may help, mentions urine colour at the bottom of it .
Suggestions
There are a number of ways to minimize the distinctive B-vitamin âburpâ or aftertaste. Try some of these simple tips: Be sure to take this vitamin with food. This will help you avoid the burp factor and also enhance the absorption of the nutrients.
Consider a high-quality brand. B vitamins are manufactured by large, well-known pharmaceutical houses and sent in bulk to vitamin companies for individual mixing (formulation) and encapsulation. There are âfood gradesâ and âpharmaceutical gradesâ for everything, including the capsule material.
Spending a little more on a better brand can pay big dividends when it comes to side effects. Be prepared to switch brands. Keeping trying until you find one that agrees with your digestive system.
Subtle manufacturing choices can make a significant difference in how well you tolerate this vitamin.
Donât be concerned if your urine turns a dazzling Day-Glo yellow. This often happens after taking a B complex.
Because these vitamins are water soluble, they travel quickly through the bloodstream and soon appear in the urine.
This doesnât mean youâre taking too high a dose. Itâs simply the natural âpeeing outâ of the riboflavin, or vitamin B2. The color is actually completely harmless and just takes getting used to.Â

this is B6 ( complex contains B6 and others B's)Â
Possible Interactions with: Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine)
Interactions
If you are being treated with any of the following medications, you should not use vitamin B6 supplements without first talking to your health care provider.
Drugs that reduce levels of B6 in the body -- If you take any of these medications, be sure to get enough B6 in your diet:
Cycloserine (Seromycin), used to treat tuberculosis
Hydralazine (Apresoline), used to treat high blood pressure
Isoniazid, used to treat tuberculosis
Penicillamine, used to treat rheumatoid arthritis
Theophylline (TheoDur), used to treat asthma
Antibiotics, Tetracycline -- All B complex vitamins, including vitamin B6, interfere with the absorption and effectiveness of antibiotic tetracycline. You should take tetracyclien at different times from vitamin B6 and other B vitamins.
Antidepressant Medications -- Taking vitamin B6 supplements may improve the effectiveness of certain tricyclic antidepressants such as nortriptyline (Pamelor), especially in elderly people. Other tricyclic antidepressants include amitriptyline (Elavil), desipramine (Norpramin), and imipramine (Tofranil).
On the other hand, antidepressants called monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) may reduce blood levels of vitamin B6. Examples of MAOIs include phenelzine (Nardil) and tranylcypromine (Parnate).
Chemotherapy drugs -- Vitamin B6 may reduce certain side effects of 5-fluorouracil and doxorubicin, medications used to treat cancer, without reducing the effectiveness of the chemotherapy. Talk to your doctor before taking any supplement if you are undergoing chemotherapy.
Erythropoietin (EPO) -- Erythropoietin therapy, used to treat severe anemia, may decrease vitamin B6 levels in red blood cells and may require B6 supplementation.
Levodopa (L-dopa)-- Vitamin B6 reduces the effectiveness of levodopa, a medication used to treat Parkinson's disease. However, your doctor may be able to determine a dose of B6 that can help reduce side effects of levodopa without interfering with the drug's action. Taking vitamin B6 along with levodopa should be done only under the strict guidance of a physician.
Phenytoin (Dilantin) -- Vitamin B6 reduces the effectiveness of phenytoin, a medication used to treat seizures.
