Reaction to vit b12 suppliments

[bignbrown]

Well after caining alot of gbl i was told it rapes your brain of b vits, esp vit b12, so i started taking suppliments, maybe they were 250ug, took 1 or 2 a day, now its left me with all over itching which is getting fucking annoying, after a google search other people have had this side effect, but should it go away on its own?

This is a common reaction to niacin (a b vitamin - i'm assuming you're taking a b complex, not just b-12). Google "niacin flush" and you'll find everything you need to know - it's usually a burning, itching feeling in the face, chest, and arms. I take 250-500 mg a day for my cholesterol, and I scratch like a crackhead about 10% of the days I take it.

nah its like a huge histamine release, esp after a hot bath shower, it was just from b12, god its awful, gbl helps as its a slight anti histamine got doctors later.

god its unbareable.
