I am taking vitamin B-6 (100 mg 2x daily) for frequent urination for at least 1 year. It seems to be more effective than doxazosin which I had been taking for 2 years. I read about this in a letter to a doctor's column in the newspaper. Has anyone had experience with using B-6 for this common condition? I can't identify any side effects. I still get up 2x a night to urinate rather than 3-4x.
