If you respond well to B6, you might increase the dose to a tolerable level. I thought I only needed 100mg per day, but later found out that my depression was much better at 200mg per day. However, that being said, high doses of B6 can cause an overstimulated feeling, almost like having too much energy. That's why I take some GABA to balance out the stimulation caused by the B6. They work well together. I had to experiment to try to find the right dosage of GABA. I concluded that I only needed 500mg in the late afternoon, and it would still be in my system the following day. If I take 750mg of GABA, I get sluggish the next day and the B6 doesn't feel as energizing. So you'd have to play around with dosages of both nutrients until it feels right. I gave up on P5P. Initially, it seems to help mood, but it loses its effect after a few days, and then I realize all I need to do is raise my B6 levels to a tolerable dosage.
