It's fine and dandy to take targetted supplements (i.e. ones with specific intended biochemical effect), but you must never take members of the vitamin B family alone. Take the extra vitamin B on top of a B-complex that is roughly proportional to the lone B whose effect you wish to emphasize. Because of the dose of B6 you're suggesting, I would recommend a B-100 supplement.
