How much vitamin b6 can I safely take?

I have read that megadoses of vitamin B6 can help to regulate mood in some people and I would like to try it for this purpose, so I want to take more than the FDA's minimum recommended daily amount, but I don't want to take an extremely high, dangerous amount.

How much can I safely take?

Overdose on multi-vitamins?

I have these delicious sour gummi multivitamins. I want to eat them.

Specifications -- 2 gummies = 1 serving.

Per serving.

Vitamin A -- 40%
Vitamin C --50%
Vitamin D -- 50%
Vitamin E -- 67%
Vitamin B6 -- 50%
Folic Acid -- 50%
Vitamin B12 -- 83%
Biotin -- 25%
Pantothenic Acid -- 50%
Iodine -- 27%
Zinc -- 17%

Sorry for the long post, It's just that I either eat them now or throw them away tomorrow night... Can anything harmful occur by eating a bunch of them?
Well I had about 8 before I thought about negative things. This is indeed a one time thing though.

I do NOT care about the effects of long-term overdose, mainly because there will not be long term overdose.

How long before your hair stops falling out since taking vitamins?

I had a problem with my hair falling out for over a year, so I went to the doctor and he gave me a prescription for a vitamin B6, B12, Folic Acid, and Protein. About how long will I have to take these vitamins before my hair stops shedding?

Is taking 100mg a day of vitamin B6 pushing the limit?

Supposedly Vitamin B6 is supposed to help with one's attention span. I am taking 100mg a day. But I have heard that taking too much can seriously effect one's health. Is this true?

Am I taking too much? What is the acceptable amount to take? Thanks.
