Pyritinol, pyridoxine, and excess vitamin b6 induced toxicity (cross post from r/nootropics)

So, i'm preparing to add pyritinol (pharma-grade encephabol from merck) to my stack, and had a quick question regarding excessive B6 supplementation.
I've read numerous times in the past that B6 supplementation should be done cautiously, as the margin of overdose is relatively low, and the damage is essentially irreversible. Based on that, i'm not sure if i should be worried about excess b6 levels after starting pyritinol supplementation alongside my current regimen.
Right now, the only source of b6 i'm receiving via supp's is 75mg pyridoxine from LEF's 2-per-day multi. If i was to add 300-600mg of Pyritinol to my stack on top of this, would I be running any risk of overdoing the B6? Actually, i guess my question is more generally whether pyritinol and general b6 would have an additive affect on b6 levels in the brain, or if pyritinol supplementation would not elevate b6 levels at all, as i was unable to determine this based on my research.
Thanks in advance for any info guys!
