B6 is certainly safer, as well as cheaper. Although the study was published fifteen years ago in a mainstream psychiatric journal, no one has taken the trouble to repeat it.

Allergies Determine whether allergies are a cause of the problem.
Unfortunately, most allergists have been trained to believe that allergies, especially food allergies, cause only asthma, hay fever, and hives. They do not realize that allergies can also affect the brain. Excellent books are available to help parents identify and remove from the child's diet foods to which he or she may be allergic. Related reactions may include hyperactivity, learning disorders, tics, autism, and seizures. I suggest obtaining several of these books and reading them carefully so that you become your own expert.
