I appreciate all of the input. It's ashame that I went all these years not knowing the condition that I had, and yet discovering & self-administering huge amounts of B6 because it made me feel so much better. Unfortunately, I didn't know about the 'Zinc' portion of this puzzle - which is now becoming the icing on the cake as far as my treatment for Pyroluria. I wish that the doctors that I've gone to over the years would have diagnosed this condition earlier and saved my a lot of grief and pain.

I agree that P5P is easier on a person - I don't feel as 'wired' all of the time. I am more relaxed on P5P, however I still need a lot of B6 pyridoxine in addition to P5P. (Maybe I should just continue to increase my P5P to 250-300mg/day while lowering my pyridoxine to see what happens?)

As far as the Zinc supplements, I think you are probably right in that I could have an over-abundance of copper due to the zinc deficieny over the years. I'll take your advice and continue with 50mg zinc for some time and watch for overdose symptons.

Thank you very much for the information and advice!
