Reddit reviews Superior Source Children's B-Complex Vitamins, 60 Count

I can give only an anecdotal report, but I've had some roller coaster rides with niacinamide (B3). Definitely research B3, in its various forms, if you're taking it. When I first started taking it, I found my depression and anxiety lifted more than they had ever been. It was amazing. The stuff worked better than any antidepressant I'd ever taken. But then after some months, I got worse again. I'm trying to remember exactly what happened -- I think I was somewhat agitated, and definitely the anxiety came back. Finally I decreased the niacinamide and eventually stopped taking it. But because I'd had such a good result from it initially, I tried again a few more times later on. I remember taking small doses but having insane panic attacks. Finally, I found a children's B complex that has only 2.3 mg per tablet, and that I can tolerate. It helps, believe it or not.

I know what you mean about so many people pushing high-dose B complexes. I think the doses are crazy.

I don't know if you're hyper-sensitive to vitamins like I am, so I don't know if this will be helpful, but a few years ago I was diagnosed with Cytochrome P450 liver enzyme deficiency. It means that my liver doesn't metabolize various substances as well as it should, including vitamins and other supplements; estrogen; and a host of drugs, including most antidepressants. I get side effects from even the smallest doses. Not a lot is known about this deficiency yet, but apparently it's not terribly uncommon. So if you find that you're sensitive to drugs and vitamins generally, you might look into it.

I hope this is helpful, despite being nonscientific. Best of luck to you! Feel free to pm me.
