Heya guys.

So I read that we may be vitamin B deficient and that supplementing may help our neurology, and help avoid dementia in later life.

I’ve tried a few times, but every time I take a supplement I wake up in the night with my brain feeling like I have drunk too much alcohol.

So I assume that’s actually harmful.

Anyone got a similar experience?

A general remark rather than an answer to your question: in general, more than not equal better with vitamins, and too much vitamin B6 can lead to nerve problems. I would only supplement when you have a good reason to believe that you’re deficient. If you insist, at least try to stick to normal doses.
