B6 effectiveness ?

NebMom

Hi All - excited to start trying B6. my doc suggested 50mg, twice a day, so i started that last night. how long did it take for those who have tried it, to feel an effect? if it worked? Thanks! Risa

I'm assuming you're doing it to fend off nausea, right?

 

I took it throughout my pregnancy with #1 and very rarely had any nausea. I'm taking it this time (100mg, once a day) and I've had a little more nausea but haven't thrown up - yet. I can't say for sure if it's the B6 or if I'm just lucky.

 

It can't hurt!

yes, for nausea. just wondering how soon after taking it, does it take the edge off the queezies.

I have been taking 50 mg at night and didn't have any nausea until today.  I am going to increase to a 50 mg morning dosage as well starting tomorrow.  Hopefully it will do the trick.  Be sure to take unisom with it.  Something about the combination makes it more effective.

i only took 50mg once a day with DD and it worked like a charm.  i couldn't get it to work at all with this one...was sick a lot more with #2 than #1.  good luck!

I've been taking 25mg 3x a day and 20mg via my prenatal at night.  It took me about 2 days to notice a difference.  I was having pretty bad nausea (no vomiting) and now, while I don't feel great, I feel much better.  Though I still feel like I'm on a tightrope and at any moment could go falling back to the nausea.
