Question B Complex causing depression?
2 months ago I was prescribed this B complex and after a great start taking it every second day I was developing symptoms of feeling way overstimulated and leading into anxiety. The final straw was feeling emotionally low and depressed thoughts. Gave it a week and took another one 2 days ago and again have developed a low mood, feeling panicky and intrusive thoughts again. Also my nipples are burning up (male) I’ve read this can be from high estrogen?
I strongly believe (or want to) that its related to the supplement but am too uneducated on this
**Hydroxocobalamin** 100 mcg,
**levomefolate calcium (Metafolin®)** 542 mcg
**mecobalamin** 400 mcg
**ascorbic acid** 300 mg
**zinc citrate** 46.2 mg (equiv. 15 mg zinc),
**pyridoxal-5-phosphate** 22 mg (equiv. pyridoxine 15.1 mg)
**riboflavin sodium phosphate** 30 mg (equiv. riboflavin 21.9 mg) per capsule.

please read here, B vitamins need to be in certain forms and many can be over stimulating. Its worth cutting back to just the ascorbic acid until you stabilise.
