It's just a general question. A hypothetical one. I have not taken too many B-vitamins. I was just wondering if it was scientifically possible.

To overdose as in a lethal overdose, very unlikely. You would experience other major side effects beforehand. You can take too much of the B vitamins, as any other vitamin or herb. I take several B vitamins every day, but in only the suggested doses. I would suggest that you speak with either an herbalist or nutritionist to find what may be best for you.

Have you ever heard that too much of a good thing is bad? That's true, but not really very true with B vitamins - they're water soluble and what you don't need usually passes from your body. Your tinkle will be very very yellow and smell like vitamins though. And that's all I got to say about that.

Overdose of the B vitamins and vitamin C can occur if you are taking mega doses from supplements, but it's less likely because they are water-soluble and therefore quickly excreted in the urine.

Welllll, since it is possible to OD on water I am going to give this a tentative yes. BUT why would you ask? Call your poison control center(blue pages of the phone book )or an emergency room. I am at a loss as to how this could happen accidently...Seems like an attention getting manipulation to me which points out a WHOLE other set of issues. Good luck with this; you're going to need it.

Too much of anything is not good. To much of this vitamin can lead to liver damage.

yes! vitamin b is also contradicted at normal dose for certain individuals with liver, kidney and heart disease as well as a few others.
it is never a good thing to take mega doses of anything....

Definitely - particularly B6, UK very strict on max doses that are allowed to be sold over the counter
