Thread: Not sure what to do with my B6

I take my Vitamin B6 at dinner time. I don't know what the best time to take it is, but it seems to give me very vivid dreams.

Sorry. What time is dinner time in your house? (We seem to disagree in this house whether dinner means early pm or early evening!)

Take it when u wake back to bed. 100% sure

I'm no expert on the subject of supplements. But from what I gather about B6, is that when you take it, you should also eat something like turkey, beef, milk, cheese, or eggs. These foods have tryptophan. This will mix with the B6 causing the vivid dreams. Also B6 is supposed to work by suppressing REM sleep. So, for this reason, it would probably be better to take it before going to sleep.

Have a turkey sandwich and a glass of milk or something, before going to bed. Then after a few hours of sleeping, do a short WBTB. Maybe anywhere from ten to thirty minutes. After that you aught to have some nice dreams.

I used to take it right before going to sleep (or no more than one hour before) and it did give me really vivid dreams.

I took one for the first time last night. I took one at 8.30pm, went to bed about 10 and had an LD (estimate) around midnight. Was one of my best lucids yet. Will experiment with different times. Found it very difficult to sleep though.

What was the dosage? Oops. Just re-read the first post. 100mgs.

Took 100mgs of B6 at 6.30pm by 10.30pm feeling "edgy and jittery" then took another 100mgs at 11pm....Could not sleep got up, back to bed around 3am still a sleepless and dreamless feeling night. Awake early. It was like a massive expresso overdose!
So for me it acts within a short time,and had an arousing effect.
I will lay of taking it before sleep and try an early am dose.
