Possibly — but there are few reports. 62% of 8 people who reported on Vitamin B Complex for anxiety say it improved. 0% noticed no change and 38% say it got worse.
“Earlier today I took a vitamin B complex supplement that includes all of the B vitamins including 100 mg of biotin...started feeling paranoid all of a sudden.”
“B-complex has greatly helped with my depression and anxiety...I was taking B12 and B6...everyday I noticed I felt tired and on top of that my sight was becoming a bit blurt.”
“B supplements give me anxiety for sure. I tried all forms of B12 and i still had it so I have to avoid supplementing with it.”
Conclusion: The review provides evidence for the benefit of B vitamin supplementation in healthy and at-risk populations for stress, but not for depressive symptoms or anxiety. B vitamin supplementation may particularly benefit populations who are at risk due to (1) poor nutrient status or (2) poor mood status.
