Tag: Neuropathy recovery

Approximately two to six weeks after discontinuing high-dose vitamin B6, many individuals experience a temporary intensification of symptoms, known as 'coasting' or the rebound of B6 toxicity. This phase can be alarming but is often a sign that the body is beginning the long process of nerve regeneration. The phenomenon occurs as paralyzed nerves 'wake up' in a damaged state and as excess vitamin stores are finally cleared from nerve cells.

While many people experience improvement in B6 toxicity symptoms within six months, full recovery can be a slow process, with timelines varying significantly depending on the severity and duration of the overdose. Understanding how long until B6 toxicity goes away is key to managing expectations and treatment.
