Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Epilepsy / March 2006Vitamin B 6, anyone have experience with this?
My son just started Keppra. We also have him on B 6 for mood issues. In the past it has seemed he had more seizures when taking B 6. He is not controlled so it is hard to tell. Has anyone used B 6 and have any advice? Thanks in advance. Gin > My son just started Keppra. We also have him on B 6 for mood issues.

Did you try Google? http://tinyurl.com/fzdk6 best of wishes, ole k yes, I have been searching on google thanks. I was hoping for some personal experience. I did find this today [Q]No side effects are associated with recommended dosages of vitamin B6. People taking anticonvulsant drugs for the treatment of epilepsy and levodopa (L-dopa) for the treatment of Parkinson's disease may wish to consult their doctor before taking supplementary vitamin B6 as it may decrease the effectiveness of these drugs.[Q] http://www.medaus.com/p/237,395.html So we DC'd the B 6 for now.... Thanks for the input Gin >My son just started Keppra. We also have him on B 6 for mood issues. In >the past it has seemed he had more seizures when taking B 6.

The downer is the side effects. I have become extremely irritable and confrontational. I'm afraid one day I could hurt someone (and enjoy it) if they got in my face or tripped the wrong switch at the wrong time. Oh, well, I can always blame it on the meds.... So keep an eye on your son and watch for any behavioral changes. Thanks for your input. I am watching him and concerned about the potential sides. We do need control though. He is also a teen (15 in a couple of days) so that makes it a challenge. I appreaciate hearing your experiences! Thanks, Gin off topic, but i get lots of skin problems when i take vitamin b complex OH? What kind of skin problems do you get? I am taking it to help with joint and muscle pain and have not had anything so far. Curious to hear what happens. Son is doing ok on Keppra so far.... Thanks all, GIn redness, dryness, blemishes, u name it hehe i trust only aloe vera gel now
