My blood and urine tests confirmed Pyroluria 5 years ago by which time anxiety/depression were controlled on Alprazolam .5mg twice/day.
I began P5P 33.8mg, & Zinc and had disturbing dreams but never progressed to sweet dreams as Dr. anticipated.5 yrs later,trying the P5P 33.8mg again with Zinc Picolinate 50mg, Magnesium 250mg with same result after 2 weeks.
Also take 100mcg Thyroxine/day, Vit C 500-1000mg, E 400 IU DIM bioavailable 19.5 and sublingual compounded Troche's DHEA, Progesterone, Oestrogen and Testosterone.
Can you suggest any further possibilities - dosage changes alternate B6, Zinc etc that might make the treatment effective? I did read on one site that some people need both P5P and Piroxidine Hydrochloride 300mg daily and that others do better on one or the other forms.
I am 46kg, 5ft tall, eat a protein based diet with only nutrient dense fruit & veg in small quantities. I also weight train and have 22% body fat.
Long family history of anxiety depression, many worse than me. Any words for me or should I just stay with the Xanax alone.
Thank you in anticipation

Usually called a blood disorder since it involves hemoglobin production. This is a good site:
