Does taking a lot of vitamin B cause dehydration?

I took a vitamin B complex both yesterday and today, and my tongue has felt gritty both times the entire day. Is the supplement the cause?

If you take larger than needed quantities of vitamins like B and C, your body expells the excessive amounts through urination.

More frequent urination can lead to dehydration unless you compensate by drinking more fluids.
