yes, b complex vitamins can increase anxiety levels and cause insomnia.
@GlueGun B complex and too much niacin makes me jumpy and gives me hot flashes

I had this with my 500 kcal diet. Was energetic but couldn't sleep.

One advice:

Meditate before you sleep and you calm down or read.
But no phone 30 min before

haha I can't go to bed without my phone. It actually helps me fall asleep 😔

The B vitamins do make it hard for me to sleep if I take them too late in the day. If I take them with breakfast I don't have that problem ,though..
SW-User
@SW-User I will agree to disagree, but I am sorry to hear you were having health issues at anytime.It sucks and I hope you are better now..
SW-User
@SW-User Thanks im not looking for any sympathy but i cant get better there isnt a cure for what i have
And i dont want to say anymore
SW-User
@SW-User Understood..I won't pry.🙂

You should take prescription as per doctor's recommendation.

I think you should take low doses and try to make a routine. Also try to read or some activities which can help you for sleep. Maybe a hot bath.
SW-User
@SW-User I see. Some medicines have side effects. If it continues, maybe you should take doses on alternate days. Or see if you are able to feel good sleep without vitamins capsules or meds.
SW-User
Alternate days..thats a very good idea. Thanks :)
SW-User
@SW-User Hope it helps :)

how high are the b vitamin doses?? try a regular multi vitamin mineral tablet instead. those have everything you need. what time of day are you taking the b vitamins/?? I fall asleep easily.
trackboy · 26-30, M
@SW-User try taking it in the morning then see if your able to sleep better at night. if it does make you more awake you should get more sleepy when it wears off. you take a multi vitamin mineral tablet???
SW-User
No minerals, only multivitamins
trackboy · 26-30, M
@SW-User you should switch to a multivitamin mineral tablet. the minerals are just as important as the vitamins.
SW-User
@SW-User That's all I could find sorry.
SW-User
Thank you 🤗

I took vit b12 and couldn't sleep felt a huge surge of anger and felt generally unwell.I had to stop talking asap. I thought I was going mad.
SW-User
Wooow that makes sense
@SW-User lucky one of my daughters came over and helped me through it I was ok within 24 hours of stopping them. Weird I thought I was allergic to them but it turns out vit b12 can have that effect on people. so be warned everyone.

the cost of energy! gaining boost but using more
popmol · 26-30, M
@SW-User you cannot gain so much more energy. and the energy still has to flow through you so the muscle get tired
SW-User
True, I feel like too much energy can "burn" my nerves
popmol · 26-30, M
@SW-User it probably can but nothing that we can produce ourselves! i feel tired to but i used all my energy in the gym :p
