A member asked:

Please tell me, could having high levels of b vitamins cause anxiety?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Pamela Pappas answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

In some, yes: Some people are more sensitive to b vitamins and can experience anxiety and even panic with them. Vitamin b6 may be especially likely to cause this, even though given for nervous system support. It is known to increase the vividness of dreaming. However, many people do very well with b complex, with no anxiety whatsoever.
