>Lar...I came across (sorry..I don't have the reference) an article that states many people have different reactions to the variety of vitamins. One example had to do with higher histamine levels associated with folic acid, or B3 (not sure which one). That, of course, could have drastic effects. I had my first manic episode on B-12 and Folic Acid. B5 keeps me up, and in and out of very odd dreams.
As I have heard, this is where it might be best to try one vitamin or mineral at a time, and work with the ones you tolerate. Same with herbs.
Anyhow..just my .02 cents..
