The three major forms of vitamin B6 are pyridoxine, pyridoxal, and pyridoxamine.
An overdose of pyridoxine can cause a temporary deadening of certain nerves causing a feeling of disembodiment common with the loss of proprioception.
Pyroluria is one potential cause of vitamin B6 deficiency.
In women, another potential cause of vitamin B-6 deficiency is the use of oral contraceptives and other medications containing estro-progestational hormones (such as those prescribed as part of Hormone Replacement Therapy [HRT]).
Other contraceptive medications that may cause vitamin B-6 deficiency include: the patch (Ortho Evera), vaginal ring (Nuvaring), hormonal IUD (Mirena) and shot (Depo Provera).
Signs of a Vitamin B-6 deficiency include: depression, anxiety, and loss of libido, insomnia, water retention, and inability to process glucose (weight loss/gain).
Physicians are now beginning to recommend routine vitamin B-6 administration during hormonal contraception/medication.
