Vitamin Intake

Asked for Male, 31 years

My vitamin B12 was 120 and Vitamin D was 4.7. I am taking vitamin injections and tablets from 1.5 months. Some days I feel great and some days I feel anxious without any reason. I also took escitalopram for 7 months and tapered slowly and it did help me, I had severe depression and anxiety at that time. Is my anxiety and depression not going away or my body is adjusting from vitamin deficiency? How much time does it take to fully adjust on vitamins?

Dear Patient,

Kindly, share what symptoms you are “currently' experiencing since you asked why your body isn't adjusting or symptoms not going away. Multivitamins deficiency can cause lethargy, weakness, etc but depression and anxiety may need a detailed insight from a psychologist. Did you consider going to a psychologist before considering medications from a psychiatrist?
Adjusting to vitamins doesn't take long unless the deficiency is significant or treatment is insufficient or ineffective. Kindly, share symptoms and detailed blood reports by attaching photos and photos of prescription.
