A member asked:

Is it a good idea to take a vitamin b complex for treating anxiety?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

NBot harmful: Vitamin b complex is safe when taken in therapeutic amounts (not excess) and is water soluable so cannot build up in the body. It may not be helpful in relieving symptoms of depression, however.
