I know these things take a while to have an effect, and I'm posting about all my experiences in nearly real time.
However...
This is only day 2, and I've only taken it 3 times. Today I took it twice, and every time I take it, it turns a light switch on in my brain and gives me energy. This effect lasts for 3-4 hours, and hopefully longer if it can build up.
I have elevated krytopyrolles, so I should theoretically be low on b6 and zinc, which I'm both supplementing with. I was taking regular b6, but it doesn't have the same effect as p5p, which tells me I'm missing the proper co-factors, or that my methylation is screwed up and can't convert it properly. In either case this is what I'm taking:
Country Life p5p: 50 mg (2 x day: morning and evening)
Signs of Vitamin B6 deficiency
"Fatigue, a frequent symptom of many disorders, is a symptom of B6 deficiency. Other signs include cheilosis (sores or cracks at the corners of the mouth), glossitis (swollen red tongue) and stomatitis (inflammation of the mouth, oral ulcers). As mentioned earlier, the presence of depression, cognitive dysfunction and small cell type anemia (hypochromic, microcytic) are also suspect in a vitamin B6 deficiency."

"In its role as a vital coenzyme, B6 is involved in the synthesis of neurotransmitters including serotonin. B6 is required to form serotonin from the amino acid tryptophan. It is also required to synthesize dopamine, norepinephrine and GABA (gamma amino butyric acid). "Early symptoms of vitamin B6 deficiency include depression and confusion" according to Eleanor Noss Whitney and Sharon Rady Rolfes, authors of the text Understanding Nutrition."
