In reply to B12 or B__ exasperating anxiety?, posted by Newbee on March 13, 2008, at 19:40:19
B vitamins can worsen things for sensitive people. I am super senstive to Bs. I remember my doc gave me a B12 shot once. I had crazy nightmares and woke in a panic. Anxiety was fierce. This lasted about 3 days. If I take Bs at all, I only take a small crumb off a B50 tab and only about once every other day or so. I try to get all I need from good food choices.
For anxiety the B vitamin to focus on is Niacinimide. Not Niacin. It has to be the Niacinimide form. It has similar affinity for gaba receptors as benzo meds to.
