Vitamin B6

Hi girls!  So I went and bought a bottle of B6.  However, I could only find 200mg.  The dr says to take 10-25mg 3 times a day!  So how do I go about that?  Also, I'm not going to take the unisom since I have no trouble sleeping.  It's just the All.Day.Nausea!  Anyone just take B6 and have it work?  TIA!

You can buy 25 mg tablets of B6 online.

My OB said 50 mg in the am, 50 in the pm with a half of a unisom. I have 100mg B6 tablets, so I just cut them in half. As for the unisom, they don't tell you to take it to help you sleep; it was originally intended (and formulated) as an anti-nausea medicine, then later marketed as a sleep aid. Obviously, since it does help you sleep, you should only take it before bed though.

When you buy a smaller sized pill, you can also use a pill splitter to cut it. That's what I had to do - split a 50mg pill. They had the pills that size at Whole Foods, and you can get a pill splitter at any pharmacy.
