Have you tried vitamin B complex?

[D7D]

Has anyone else here tried a vitamin B complex to help with depression?

I didn't really think I was depressed; I just thought life was tough and I was stressed. From the standpoint of wanting to take care of my health, I decided to start taking a vitamin b complex. In only 2-3 days, I noticed a drastic improvement in the way I felt - my overall sense of self efficacy and well being. It's hard to explain. I feel more like "myself" like when I was younger and life was easier. I'm so incredibly amazed about this, I just wanted to come share here in case vitamin b complex can also help someone else.

I do take vitamin B complex along with other supplements.  I find B does give me more energy.  I would not stop my anti-depressant though, as I don't feel vitamin B is a substitute.  I am not sure it would cure my depression by stopping anti-depressants and only taking vitamin B.

If you're low on B vitamins it can cause depression and anxiety. It does sound like you may have been low. All sorts of deficiencies can cause all sorts of problems.
