B12 and B6 together? Yes or no?

[mamaamw]

do i take b12 and b6 at the same time? i've been taking b12 every morning for 14 days..... do i need to take b6 too? or can you not take them together? what's the difference in the two? .I need as much energy as possible! what is the difference between them?

yeah both help promote positive mood and energy.  and don't worry, soon enough you'll be back to where you won't even need to be taking them to get energy anymore :)

I know b12 gives me a little energy. I know if I take it later in the day, I cant sleep! I had a b12 shot once and didnt sleep all night. (i had gastric bypass and i have to take b12 anyway...always have). Does b6 somewhat give you a little boost too? (I need all i can get!)

Mama, both are amino acids that go to your brain and help get things going that were shut down during our abuse of the opiates.  Both effect a different part of the brain, but both are absolutely great to take.

Vitamin B-6 is essential for neurotransmitter synthesis, and impacts the brain's levels of the mood controlling neurotransmitters serotonin and dopamine, (according to the Office of Dietary Supplements). On the other hand, vitamin B-12 is related to memory, with low levels of B-12 associated with both dementia and Alzheimer's disease.  On a normal basis it is usually actually highly recommended to take all b vitamins together, and that's when they will also work best.

Hope that helped! (nutrition and stuff like that is what I love so, happy to help out when needed :D )
