Can multivitamins make you anxious?

My anxiety seems to tie in with vitamin use

Doesn’t seem like a reliable website, and apparently there’s no actual evidence for this.

I went on the basis of his qualification as a professor. I suppose that goes to show you can’t always trust the ‘expertise’ of a professor.

On looking at his twitter page I see he has retweeted a tweet by Dr Joseph Mercola. If my memory serves me right Mercola is regarded as somewhat of a quack.

No, it doesn’t break any rules, really.

By my own experience -yes. Centrum Silver does. .Haven’t tried any other.

Well if you were taking way more than your body needed of something it could be possible I suppose. But with most vitamins the body is very good at getting rid of excess so it’s unlikely. Everyone’s affected by things differently though so who knows.

its hard to judge if you are already anxious/stressed in the first place i’d say but as someone who has suffered from really bad anxiety

The pregabalin i took didnt help much and thats an anti-anxiety med, i also had a spray that helped a bit but only when it was severe, after i stopped these i felt a bit better but idk

I still needed something so i tried peppermint captules which were fine initially but after stopping them again i feel like my anxiety has improved a little more, so not sure what to make of it, maybe they helped reduce it enough for me to see a difference after i stopped taking them.

Welp if vitmins mess you up, im afriad you wont make it. How could someone tolerate high doses of ap and be crippled by a vitamin. Doesnt make sense. Vitamins and minerals are in the foods we eat. Its like getting anxiety from an apple.

They do not. Look for another cause.
