A member asked:

Can manic/paranoid episodes be induced by supplements taken for depression/anxiety, like st. john's wort and vitamin b complex?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

NO: But they can increase those symptoms in the primary stage of treatment if that is what they are being used for. Persist with them and the symptoms may well improve.
