does vitamin B bring mania

[adel_ezz]

does this question sound logical. It is assumed that vitamin B lessens anxiety, but when I take it I found myself more energetic and HIGH. Is there a possibility of mania my first ennemy. Usually all sold vitamin B in the market is the triad : B1, B6, B12 and sometimes folic acid.

my question is there a possibility of mania or psychosis or at least irritability. What is the maximum safest dose of it, does the FDA addressed that. I read that Niacin (B3) can bring mania but it doesn't usually exist in my triplet (B1,B6,B12).
N.B: I take neurobion B1=100mg, B6=200mg, B12=200 micro

I just started taking vitamin B pills and it's definitely given me a much needed energy boost. I'm not sure about whether it causes mania or not in some people. But brain chemistry is so complex and individual, who knows. If it causes you to feel manic, then that's enough evidence that perhaps it's not good for you to take that much vitamin B. Perhaps you could take a lower dosage?

I have given myself Vit B shots for a yr and a half once a month. It has not caused me to be manic. I do not know if it can in some people with Bipolar but I would hope your pdoc would know for sure or perhaps research.

All those energy drinks, ei. 5 hr energy, are basically high doses of B vitamins with a cup of coffee worth of caffeine. I don't know that it would cause mania, but as mentioned above, in high doses could make it worse. B vitamins are like a stimulant to the brain. B deficiency causes low energy and depression, so high doses can do the opposite. I detoxed from methadone a year ago, I was taking a lot of b's and other vitamins. I had to cut them back as I healed and my need was lower. I had mental and physical side effects from too high a dose of supplements.

I would doubt it is going to cause mania since your body needs it.  Vitamin B deficiency can lead to a type of anemia, which can make you feel tired and low energy to begin with.  It could be you're feeling some energy because you were a bit deficient before beginning to take it.
