hello just wondering if any one has had the same experience as i have had whilst taking vit b

supplements.

i took them for 17 days and noticed that i slept less and seemed a bit hyper.

I felt depressed , bad mooded and paraniod.

I stopped them for one day and felt better, then i took them again and the low mood returned.

So have now stopped them, and felt better straight away.

I wonder why they had such a negative effect.

Any info would be much apprieciated.

thank you x

I had a similar bad effect with Nutri Adrenal Extra which contains a very high dosage of B vitamins. Some people do seem to be extra sensitive to B vitamins. xx

I definitely suffer from worse insomnia when taking a B complex.

Maybe it's your body telling you it doesn't need the extra supplements? Or one of the B's at least. If you don't have symptoms of a deficiency I wouldn't bother.
