43yo male. Life has been great health wise except for some back pain issues. Recently (2 weeks ago) something changed (snapped) - severe anxiety/panic disorder. We're talking panic attacks at night (havent had then in 1.5 week). Insomnia everynight, wake every 2-3 hours with tremors. Dr. has me doing Ativan nightly before bed to help but only for a couple weeks (low .5mg dosage). My days are hell, brain fog. We started to do Lexapro but I stopped after a couple days as it was doing more bad than good and plus, I think something else is bringing this on.

So today I was chatting with a friend who deals with anxiety and he mentioned low vitamin levels such as D can lead to this (since pandemic i work 100% inside and barely go outside). The one observation I have though is STUPIDLY around August I started taking a daily liquid B Complex as I though it would help with staying awake, immune system prevention...etc. Stupid because I never saw a Dr about it nor did i even know if i had a deficiency.

Fast forward to now. I've stopped taking the B complex early Nov. I'm wondering if having been on such a high dosage of B complex that i was taking could be causing a withdrawal. I've asked the dr to order vitamin blood tests so we can see if anything here is linked to my recent battles with anxiety/panic. I also just communicated my misuse of vitamin B to her also - waiting to hear back.

Can this have an effect on what I'm dealing with?
