Nauthiz Posted July 5, 2009 Report Share Posted July 5, 2009 I was thinking about takign a B-complex because i have heard vit b may help.... I tried it once and i think ti caused my heart to race but it could of been what i ate so i might try it again. Has VIT b supplements helped anyone here? I have a B-50 Complex i ordered.

jump Posted July 5, 2009 Report Share Posted July 5, 2009 Vit b has changed my life! Folic acid (one in the b-complex) is used to treat symptoms similar to POTS in over-trained athletes. Heart palpitations and standing tachycardia is also a symptom of B deficiency. I started taking B just incase my problem was really a deficiency (it wasn't) but it DID really help me. It helps with my energy levels and I think it helps a little bit with palpitations/tachycardia, too. But it helps with energy a LOT.I vote to try it again!

My multi has a decent amount of VIT b but no where near the B-50 i got to try here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stace915 Posted July 5, 2009 Report Share Posted July 5, 2009 I took a prescription strength supplement of vitamin B for a while and then we tried vitamin B shots... neither one helped at all. My pcp said that generally unless your body has low levels of vitamin B, taking any sort of additional supplement of it does not make a difference, I figured it was worth a shot anyways.. but no luck.

tinkerbella Posted July 5, 2009 Report Share Posted July 5, 2009 HELLO, I take b complex that i get at walgreens 2 for 1 sale as i swear it's calming. i was also told by the 1st neuro that i needed b12 injections 1@ monthly. they give me a burst of energy. someone along the line told me the injection breaking of the skin it's self will make one tachy. why? i don't know. my sister sells a blend i really loved mixed with herbs that super relaxed me, but i couldn't afford them after the nice gift she gave me for Christmas ran out one time. i wish everything was free, don't you? bellamia~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaneEyre9 Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 I think it's worth a shot. Once I started taking B-complex regularly, I noticed an improvement in my symptoms. It's a good supplement for nervous system health just in general.It's not a dangerous group of vitamins, meaning your body will get rid of any amount you don't need. I would recommend looking for a product with very few fillers as you might be sensitive to an inactive ingredient in the pills.Just my 2 cents!

Guest tearose Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 I needed to supplement folic acid due to low blood counts from irregular shaped red blood cells. I do fine with this.I had horrible reaction to b-complex from day one! It brought on incredible migraine headaches and nausea. I went off and tried again and the same thing happened. I cannot tolerate the b-complex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
potsgirl Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 I take both a multi-vitamin and B-12. I just started on the B-12 about 2 weeks ago. So far, I haven't been able to tell a difference, but it certainly hasn't made me feel worse. My PCP and neuro thinks it's worth a shot, so unless it causes bad side effects, I'll keep taking it.Peace,jana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gertie Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 I hate to sound negative but I've ended up with bad reactions to most supplements I've tried. I have to be careful of foods that have added supplements especially cereals. If you haven't tried it b/4 I would try a small amount to start with.

Rachel Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 I have tried vitamin B supplements and even did B-12 shots for a while. I never noticed any improvement from them though.It can't hurt to try, and it's a cheap treatment if it does help. Hope it works for you!Rachel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
