s/o B6- how much?

I got a B complex gummy vitamin today instead of just straight b6 pill (mainly b/c I will shoot myself if i have to swallow one more danged pill).  so it says it has 100% of the DV for b6.  But how much do they recommend for helping get rid of m/s?  I forgot to look on the straight b-6 bottles and see how much is in there.

Anyone one talked to their OB about the right dose for helping with m/s?

    My doctor has me taking 25mg of B6 three times a day. I was only able to find 100mg tablets, so I have to cut them to get the estimated dosage. I'm not sure if it matters that I spread it out during the day versus taking it all at once.

    ugh.... DH just read the label and said it has only 2mg... looks like I'll be going back to the grocery store for a higher dose!

    My OB said 50mg 3 times a day (she also said to take it with a half a unisom) for m/s.

    I tried 50 and it didn't help.  I tried 100 and it didn't help either.  I told her that I upped it and she said it wasn't a big deal, but if it didn't work at 50, I'd need something bigger.  I'm now taking Zofran.

    Hope that helps!

    I was taking 50 mg before my BFP so I have continued to take it.  I haven't had any m/s ::knocks on wood:: but I don't know if that has anything to do with it or not.  I didn't ask my Dr about it, just told her I was doing it and she was ok with it.

    My OB recommended 25mg 3x/day. Like PP mentioned, they only carried 100mg in the store, but I asked the pharmacy to order them in 25mg and had them for me the next day.
