B vitamins are supposed to be good for schizophrenia.
I finally found some that are “just the basics”. 100% of the recommended b vitamins daily. I found it in a local health food place.
All the ones online seem to be super potent with 3000% of the recommended b vitamins.
I found those didn’t go well with Abilify when I tried them previously.
Does anyone here take b vitamins daily?
Do they help even a little?
I used to take them but now take a multivitamin. No effects on sz but I read high dose b6 lowers prolactin. I used to take high dose 250mg b6, i stopped as i was scared of side effects.
At the moment I take vitamin b12. My dad recommended it with the fact I don’t eat any red meat. What it does for me I can’t be sure
I was thinking about taking a B Complex but I take a multivitamin that has some B Vitamins in it.
A pharmacist said that I shouldn’t take a B Complex if I’m taking a multivitamin but who knows.
Do you know @everhopeful?
I take a basic b complex too. I think it helps a bit.
@Wave I think it’s just if the multi has the same ingredients in it you could possibly get too much. Like if both have B vitamins.
I’d trust the pharmacist.
I didn’t have any luck taking too much b vitamins in the past. That’s why I’m trying this low powered b vitamin complex I’ve found .
Thanks @everhopeful and @Mr_Hope
I take one of these a day
supposed to be in a special coenzyme form for better utilization by body
they help me with energy and stress
I bought a few bottles of this…
I hope it’s not too much? I have not tried it yet
I read B vitamins were not that bad
B12 excess goes out through urine or something
I take a b complex most every day.
High on b vitamin?
Wondering if the ones I just bought are too much
Maybe I’ll take one every 2-3 days if that’s the case
I take a B complex vitamin everyday, helps with my energy.
I get sleep problems when I take supplements that are very high in B12, hopefully that won’t happen to you.
Yeah been taking Vit B complex + multivits for years.
Mainly cos booze can wipe out your vit b - and you can get enlarged red blood cells.
And my diet is less than ideal lol.
When would you take it? I’m considering in the morning to feel awake and more energy lol
Are yours high in B12?
Honestly dont know. They are all the B complex ones tho
Yes, B vitamins are stimulating, so you should definitly take them early in the day.
I sweeten my tea with bee honey. Does that count? 
I was cutting my b vitamins into 8ths and dosing that way I think it’s probably not great to take mega doses for months on end. I always found b vitamins stimulanting also but they gave me other side effects so I don’t use them. B vitamins can accumulate in the body so I feel are harder to dose right as you don’t get side effects immediately. B6 toxicity is something to look out for
