> > i am very interested in the akathisia studies on pubmed that used 1200mg/day. i am worried however, another pubmed study said that high B6 damaged rat brains (and wasn't actually super high per kg it seemed.) the term "nerve damage" is thrown around a lot in reference to B6 but then so is "reversible". what's the real story?

An acute treatment (say, a few weeks) at a high dose will likely have a substantially lesser neuropathy risk than the same dose over a year. Everything I've read suggests that all neuropathy symptoms are reversible upon cessation of the B6, in any case.
larry. I think he/she is talking about the B6 cortical toxicity, not peripheral. Sorry I don´t have a link at hand.
