Yeah, I hear ya about weird reactions to particular B vitamins. It is weird how most people preach about taking rather large doses of them all like they are harmless candy, like they can do only good and no bad. Like anything else, I believe it is not how much that is important, but rather the balance. If someone doesn't need B12 supplementation, they shouldn't take it. Simple as that. If someone takes a B vitamin that makes them feel worse, they shouldn't take it. It does seem to be a very individualistic thing as we are all biologically unique. I get irritated when some instruction somewhere, or somebody, says take B complex daily. Give me a break. It is more complex and more dangerous than they would have us believe. Oh, and we just piss out whatever extra we take? I don't think so. Sure doesn't feel like it to me.
Anyway, I'm glad you are getting your vitamin protocol figured out. That is quite good detective work you have done on yourself.
