does anyone know if vit b12 supplements can make you have anxiety? i was just reading a site that said that is one of the side affects. i have been having alot of anxiety this weekend and it seems as though after i take this my anxiety gets worse.

i am taking them because i was deficient last year and then was told i could stop. i started taking the supplements a few months ago but i'm wondering if it is building up in my system. that is what the injections do. but i know the injections and supplements are different.

thanks lyn - just wondering why i feel so anxious. trying to figure it out. i am going to a new doc tomorrow so i will ask him. my stomach is upset too and i know that can be a side affect. can also be of anxiety too. ha

doctors have a hard job - trying to figure it all out - guess that's why they call it a practice - they really don't know either without trial and error what symptoms mean.

Generally, when vitamin B12 supplements are taken orally then there is little chance of side effects occurring.

Some people choose to take vitamin B12 administered with an injection. This type of ingestion as been associated with the following side effects:

mild diarrhea
anxiety and panic attacks
heart palpitations
insomnia
breathing problems
chest pain
skin rash, hives or itchy swollen skin
Some health professionals believe that patients develop these reactions not because of the B12, but because of the preservatives that are part of the injection formula.

Kindly,
