What vitamin Bs with Keppra?


Hi all - I think I read somewhere that someone's neurologist suggested adding a Vitamin B to their diet if they take Keppra. Can someone tell me where that post is or let me know which Bs to take? Thanks much, D

B6 is the one that helps best with "Kepprage". But it's best to take it in a BComplex vitamin with the other Bs, since they all work together.

I agree with Nakamova,

B6 is the primary vitamin, but they all work together so take a good B-complex, plus some extra B6 if you think it is needed. Watch out for taking too much, though. Here's some info on B6, including overdose:

I would suggest checking with your neurologist first. Mine tells me that all the B I need is a multivitamin, any more is not good. He referred to studies that said too much B can cause permanent neulogical damage. My doc is very strict about me checking with him before adding anything to my regime.
