I got a strange feeling the past two morning, hard to descrbie but I would say I was scared, it lasted for a little while and goes away, this happened a few times recently and the only thing I can think of is I added vitamin D, another dose of Iron per day magnesium, calcium, B complex to my any suggestions would be appreciated, just had blood work done and things look pretty good, thyroid  8.5 Tv, 31 T3 uptake, T4 Free is 2.6, my Ferritin was two and its thirteen now all looks okay,

B12 can help - try increasing the dose and taking it sublingual.

Some people say magnesium calms you down. I find that when I take a very potent magnesium supplement, it makes me anxious. That's just me.

hi Jendays247, thats exactly what I needed to hear, magnesium is supposed to be calming thats why I couldnt understand why do I feel anxious, I tookt he magnesium for left side vibrating, but I think I will cut it out and see what happens, I really appreciate your response, on what dosage did you feel anxious?

Funny magnesium makes me calm and helps me sleep but B vitamins make me more anxious.

Judy,

Are you taking antibiotics right now? I get that scared feeling when I'm on treatment. For no reason at all it fills up my chest and I start getting anxious. Sometimes, I wake up feeling like that too. Antibiotics always seem to do it.

Hi,

I can't remember what the exact dose was, but I took it in powder form - it is actually called "Natural Calm" so you can imagine my surprise when I was an anxious wreck 15-20 minutes after drinking the stuff. I have also heard of people becoming anxious on a high dose of b vitamins.

Where are you getting your supplements? If you're paying for top of the line stuff, it can DEFINITELY have a different effect than typical drug and grocery store brands. The more expensive stuff is usually more potent.

This could be your answer, but antibiotics can certainly cause this as well. A herx can take shape as anxiety too. There are a lot of factors here.

Jen,

I take natural calm also. Well, I used to take it to help with constipation. It never worked for me though. It never made me calm either. I believe that some supplements can work opposite on different people. I used to take a supplement called Muscle Calm to help with my pain. It made me so sleepy. Gave it to my husband for his back and it made him hyper. He felt good though, LOL.

HI Cajungrl

I am off antibiotics for over a year now, was treated with antibiotics for approx 1 1/2 years, got anxiety when my pressure went high, especially on Minocycline the anxiety was horrible, once I got my pressure under control ,stopped caffeine I got much better, my blood pressure and diabetes is one of the things I didnt get rid of yet, over all I am much better, besides vibrating on the left side of my body, I am fully functional, walk two miles a day and can truly say I got better on antibiotics
