I have been under my doctor's care for anemia for over a year. I have been taking supplemental iron. While it has helped somewhat, I still felt tired much of the time and became short of breath on exertion. I read recently that some patients with anemia are deficient in B vitamins. I dediced to try taking a vitamin B complex supplement, figuring it might be worth a try. The results have been a...

My doctor told me to take vitamin B complex when she diagnosed me with carpal tunnel. I have now tried taking it two separate times, but have gotten severe diarrhea both times. I have IBS, a nervous stomach and a generally bad gut already, so it doesn't take much to set it off. No more B complex for me though.

At age 76, I very much need Vitamin B complex. There seems to be no shot for this (as there is for Vitamin B-12). My problem is that without B complex vitamins, I feel light headed and dizy and weak. I found one brand that works for a few weeks then quits being of any help at all. So I quit taking it for three or four days, then start back and it is good for about two weeks. I would like to find a brand that works all the time without having to pause taking it.

This (and other) articles I have read say not to take excessive amounts of B Complex. That is all I am finding! Some have up to 1000% of recommended doses of various vitamins. These same brands have every single on in excess. I don't want to take 10 different things. Any recommendations on "normal" percentages of each item in a B Complex?

Took BComplex for about 2 months. The last 3 weeks feeling extreme anxiety,bordering on a full blown panic attack. The most unsettling feeling that just would not stop. When I went over my daily routines,I read many,many accounts of the same issues with promoting anxiety. Put two and two together,stopped taking immediately ,flushed my system with tons of water and the anxiety was gone the next day. So very grateful to have been able to find all the information on this vitamin and I will never even look at any vitamin,except flaxseed,again. Lesson learned…..eat right.I’m a vegetarian so the omegas are an important supplement,but that is it for me.Read More Read Less

I took my first dose last night and slept better than I have in forever. I took a second dose this morning and feel like I drank rocket fuel! I don't have the jitters or anxiety either. Just clean energy!

I had been taking these B compound tablets for 2 weeks. I had noticed a tingling sensation in the back of my head and was also getting it in one side of my face. I stopped taking these pills and this went away. One week later I took another tablet and this sensation came back just so I would know these tablets were the cause. These obviously effect people in different ways so people with these symptoms do not have to worry. They may simply be too strong for me but these side effects where not listed within the box and should have been but I did find them listed online. These did not suit meRead More Read Less

Started taking B-Complex because I was very fatigued and agitated all the time. Been taking it for a couple weeks now and I have noticed a huge difference. More energy, my nerves are settled and improved mood.

I remembered a dr. telling me to try it for energy a while back. I take Nuvigil but was still lacking energy. B seems to help so far or hasn't hurt. Don't know if its coincident but my BP seems to have gone down quite a bit - to normal range. I'm going to keep taking it and see if things stabilize more with energy. So far I have no complaint about it & as with any new medication I tend to journal to see if there is any changes good or bad since the introduction of new medication, so far so good, I'll report back.Read More Read Less
