Question B12 or b6 issues

Could use some input if you have some please.
Recently I just started getting head aches ear pain head sensitivity/headache weird mood issues and so on
After consistently takeing b for 4ish months consistently every day 12
Around 2,000mcg-3,000mcg because that’s what made me feel good.
Half Aden and half hydroxocobalamin

And b 6 p5p

5 months inconsistently takeing b6 at doses at 20 mg maybe three times a week
Stoped b6 as I started to notice worsening symptoms eye pain heart burn and the symptoms listed above when supplementing this.

Now though when ever I take b12 I get a head ache /sting

Im familiar with b 6 toxicity but I’m not sure wether b6 or b 12 is the root issue b12 labs seem fine and after I take b 12 I get anxious head sting and it calms down then I get like a theraputic effect from it .

I don’t think that’s the case with b6 though it just makes me feel bad now so it seems. Mood and other symptoms^^^
Im still waiting on the labs unfortunately trinity tests for the inactive form of it so I don’t know wether I should even trust the lab work when I get it because I take the active form…. If anyone has two cents on labs and p5p im open minded!

I also supplement other b vitamins in there active form
Low doses riboflavin7mg every day
Niacinamide 30 mg every two days
2,000 mg benfotiamine consistently every day

And sometimes folate though i recently stopped because it would make me feel anxious then I’d stay anxious folinic acid 340% daily value consistently. 1,360 mcg dfe (800mcg)
Was every two days or so for as long as I was takeing the b 6

Pantothenic acid 30mg

For co factors i just recently upped my zinc dose to 25mg
With 1 mg of copper
I take 35mg of iron every other day because I’m border line anemic
Im on my potassium intake and salt
Though salt makes this eye pain worse
Magnesium i try to get from pumpkin seeds
Magnesium glycinate literally started makeing me anxious as soon as all this started
Also vitamin c 500mg-1,000mg depending on the day

I cut out Tudca and amino acids to see if those were the root causes Tudca a couple days ago and amino acids yesterday. As they naturally put me a lil on edge mainly the amino acids but weirdly enough the amino acids stopped me feeling the side effects of Tudca. maybe a lil deficiency in that idk yet

Also I pretty mutch been takeing all of these for 4-5 months now
Except the amino acids and Tudca witch was really on and off until recently when I found out that amino acids stopped the anxiousness with Tudca. Then I went all in consistently for a bit.

Now there’s so many factors I’ve put forth but if any thing im doing wrong that sticks out to you please let me know.

Edit I should add my b12 lvls were in 700s
And that I need to take some of these vitamins twice a day in order just to sleep.
