    Lately, I am suspecting that vitamins are really draining me of energy.

    For the past 2 days, I tried a vitamin B complex that had the following profile:

    Vitamin C 300mg - 500% Thiamin B1 15mg - 1000% Riboflavin B2 10.2mg - 600% Niacin 50mg - 250%
    Vitamin B6 - 5mg - 250% Folic Acid 400mcg - 100% Vitamin B12 6mcg - 100% Pantothenic Acid
    10mg - 100%

    I had slept plenty well - even 10 hours on one of the nights. But after taking this vitamin, it
    really put me out for about 5 hours or so. I was at work and so I tried my hardest to stay awake,
    but I really felt like a zombie and could have fallen asleep if I were to lie down somewhere and
    close my eyes.

    So today I avoided the B-complex vitamins and just tried a regular one. Not as much fatigue,
    but similar.

    I feel like these vitamins are doing me much more harm than good, although I haven't completely
    figured out exactly whether this is caused by the vitamins or not. Could it be the way the vitamins
    are affecting my stomach? When I feel a stomach upset, I have similar symptoms of extreme fatigue
    and mild nausea. And it felt like the vitamins were causing the same symptoms.

    Anybody else have any similar effects?

    Exactly the opposite - I take vitamins and I can't sleep! Anth

    I think your response to the vitamins is more typical since the B-complex vitamins should allow your
    body to better use energy. Perhaps I'm just one of those who react badly to such a high RDA
    percentage of certain vitamins.
