I don't have a separate B6 supplement right now, and in the past I'm not sure I noticed that effect when taking 100mg pyridoxine (the common form of B6).
I do find taking a B-complex helpful overall with energy and mood. My B supplement has 35mg B6 in the form of pyridoxine and P5P.
There are a number of herbs with diuretic action, usually under the category of "draining dampness". They tend to be neutral to warm, and are often combined with other herbs that tend to stimulate metabolism in general. Dampness can cause sluggishness, fatigue, bad digestion and brain fog. These herbs may indirectly support thyroid and sympathetic nervous system related hormones.
