Since I last posted there, I checked the nhs website about all the vitamins you listed, particularly the Bs. What it said has kinda knocked me for six now. I fully intended to take them but the dosages you suggested and what's listed on the nhs site are freaking me out. If I remember correctly you suggested 500-1000mg of B12 daily?
From the nhs site:
"Adults need approximately 0.0015mg a day of vitamin B12.
What happens if I take too much vitamin B12?
There is not enough evidence to show what the effects may be of taking high doses of vitamin B12 supplements each day.
What does the Department of Health advise?
You should be able to get all the vitamin B12 you need by eating a varied and balanced diet. If you take vitamin B12 supplements, do not take too much because this could be harmful.
Taking 2mg or less a day of vitamin B12 in supplements is unlikely to cause any harm."
I'm too new to the site to be able to post the link.
I have too much anxiety to be able to take 500-1000mg without absolutely freaking out now. I once to a herbal sleeping remedy and kept myself awake for two days straight because I was convinced if I fell asleep I would never wake up again. I'm really not sure how I'd react if I thought I'd ODed on vitamins.
