Why? : Why are you taking biotin? Sometimes it can cause agitation, depression or nervousness. Not a good idea if you're taking adderall (dextroamphetamine and racemic amphetamine).

Biotin: Biotin is a vitamin and a coenzyme -- deficiencies can happen in pregnancy and rapid weight loss, long-term tpn, etc. I do not find any interactions between this and Adderall (dextroamphetamine and racemic amphetamine) in naturaldatabase.Com. I'm wondering why you want to take 5000 mcg of biotin, though? Seems like a very high dose -- even though i don't find the side effects dr. Enriquez mentions. http://tinyurl.com/922j2y2.
