Help Pls: does vitamins bring mania

I had the impression that vitamins like centrum say (multivitamins) drove me manic once, i think so . I know vitamin c helps in this but i never read that vitamins in general can drive a person manic

the thing is i am down now after a long mania , not the mood , but my energy is very low. I am resisting AD's because they hurt me a lot in the past so i am trying my best to avoid them.

So please has anybody read that vitamins brought him mania, OR did he encounter such thing personally.


thanks a lot

At a standard FDA approved dose, especially a standard multi-vitamin complex, which is well within that range, vitamins should not cause mania or mood changes of any kind.

sometimes I get aggitated or hypomanic when I take too many B vitamins or too much vitmin C. I think that certian vitimins (particuarly the ones that give  you energy) can trigger mania

I always hear conflicting things. Like one study will say Omega-3 helps people with bipolar concentrate, but another study will say certain levels of Omega-3 are activating. I don't know, it might just depend on the individual just like all the other medicines. Vitimins are still chemicals.
