scared of my vitamins

Hi! My mother is bi-polar. I have had problems with garden variety depression in the past. My question is this : I recently started taking some new vitamins and I have so much energy and focus that I almost feel like I'm on speed or something. There is no ephedra or anything like that in them. I am sleeping normally except that I have so much energy I don't take or WANT naps anymore. Busy busy busy! So you guessed it, I'm worried that the folate or something else in these multivitamins are going to make me go manic or something. Is that possible? I know that folate is supposed to help with depression and I would have to say that my mood is better. I am worried that with these genes in my I might be having a bad reaction brain chemistry wise.

Any info appreciated!!!

Hi Pixelwoman

Welcome to the forum! I guess you just have to look at what is 'normal' for you. If you need 9 hours sleep a night for example, no number of vitamins is going to change this, so if you current regime is stopping you sleeping that much, then perhaps they are not a good idea.

Thanks - all sleep is normal pretty much like before the vitamins so I must have just had a severe deficiency or something. Maybe anemia. Thanks again!

Hello pixelwoman!

These vitamins sound interesting. What are they? I could do with some. I definately need some more energy and motivation.
