Pyridoxine for Dietary Supplementation "I’m taking 100 mg of vitamin B-6 (pyridoxine) for edema of ankles, two or three times a week, once daily with a light snack and plenty of water. Gradually, over three weeks, I am seeing a reduction in swollen ankles. Take it early in the day because it produced lucid dreams and lots of running to the toilet if taken at night. I’ve had swollen ankles since recovering from COVID-19. Increasing exercise and lowering sodium in foods also helps. Elevate your feet a few times each day."

Pyridoxine for Dietary Supplementation "I have been taking B6 in a 150 mg dose and have found that it does a better job than the thiazides at reducing ankle edema. I've been using it only for about 2 weeks and have none of the other symptoms I've gotten with the thiazides. I will have to try a decreased dose because I don't want to create a problem with this high a dose, so I will need to try it about 4 times per week, now that the loading dosage has been accomplished. I take it in the AM (with food) so that I'm not bothered at night with the toilet."

For Anemia "Not sure if it’s helping or not. All I know is it’s making me unstable, and my balance is off, and my finger and toe tingling is much worse."

Pyridoxine for Nausea/Vomiting "I was prescribed Pyridoxine (Vitamin B6) 25 mg for nausea during pregnancy, and I am absolutely amazed. I honestly didn't think it was going to work, and not only does it work, but it doesn't cause drowsiness, so I am a happy camper! I give the medicine a 9 rating."
