It happens every time I try it and always has. When I stop it, the tiredness or fatigue goes away. Is there an explanation anywhere about this? Thanks! |
I have no idea.... just about everyone reacts the other way...gets stimulated more or less. I do, with the complex. And I recommend most people take it in the morning because of that.
B6 does affect serotonin synthesis but that is a slow process. Some people are calmed when serotonin increases.
I know B12 helps me sleep..when I take it alone. It really helped my menopausal insomnia. So I always take it at night (even tho I have seen recommendations to do so in the morning with it too.).
Perhaps it is your product/dose. What were you using?
People do differ, however.
I just started R-lipoic acid for PN a few days ago... and boy was THAT energizing....!! Big surprise for me!
I am now only using 100mg in the morning, and if I take it any other time.... I don't get to sleep!
