Heya guys.

So I read that we may be vitamin B deficient and that supplementing may help our neurology, and help avoid dementia in later life.

I’ve tried a few times, but every time I take a supplement I wake up in the night with my brain feeling like I have drunk too much alcohol.

So I assume that’s actually harmful.

Anyone got a similar experience?

This doesn't pass the smell test. There's COUNTLESS grifters that will sell you some "natural" way to "cure" whatever ailments you might have. ADHD is medically recognized and most certainly not treated with vitamin B because there's no literature to back that up as an effective strategy.

If there was double-blind peer-reviewed studies that suggested vitamin B deficiency had any reasonable correlation with ADHD we would already be treating it with supplements that way.

Can I ask where you got this information?

@ProgrammingSocks the information that vitamin B6 gives me a headache?

It’s from getting headaches.

You seem to be replying to a lot of stuff I never asked.

they are saying the information you’re basing your supplementation on is probably bullshit. save your money and your head.
