Brief Answer: Stop supplementation and good hydration Detailed Answer: Hi, I went through your query and understood your concerns. Vitamin B6 is a water soluble vitamin usually increases due to supplements. Since water soluble and increases only due to taking supplements this condition is reversible when supplementation is stopped with plenty of water intake. So just need to check the contents of all your medication and stop if taking Vitamin B6 / pyridoxine/pyridoxal phosphate. Hope this answers your query.
