> 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.Agree 100%!
Not until very recently have I come to begin to understand this.
Everywhere I look, people say take Take B complex for anxiety/depression. Well i tried it and and after 2 days I felt 10 times worse! Same thing with Magnesium Glycinate...1st day felt great! Next day felt horrible.
I guess I need to tinker with dosages because many things i try help initially, then quickly make things worse :(
