Vitamin b6 and b3 overdose! Temporary or permanent damage?

Hi, I am male 22 year old. Experiencing burning and tingling in my hands, forearms, feet and in a small around around my lips and jaw. I did have a head aches with similar symptoms but that has almost completely gone away. I was taking vitamin b supplements without consulting a doctor for about 3 1/2 weeks. Up to 36 mg of vitamin b6 and 140 mg of vitamin b3. I stopped taking these 5 days ago. I visited the E.R and they said the excess vitamins would be removed through urine. I am wondering if these symptoms are temporary or if i have possibly caused permanent damage to myself?

Hi,
   The B6 dosage you have mentioned does not seem to be high enough to cuse these problems. In any case, if the symptoms continue even after a few more days, do consult a neurologist. You may need B12 . Also get your blood sugar levels checked.
