> Hi. I was wondering whether or not anyone could answer a rather interesting question for me. I was taking a multi-vitamin with high levels of biotin and Valenium
Valenium? What the heck is that?

That is unlikely to be a problem.
> I am also on Adderall(for ADD) and Buspirone(Buspar)(Anti-Anxiety). For one reason or another however I began experiencing overwhelming anxiety and irritability. After being off the multi-vitamins for only 3 days now I feel right as rain once again and was wondering whether or not anyone knew what exactly the culprit of these mood swings (they were not circumstantial) was? What is the usual vitamin/ supplement that is to blame for this?
That's very hard to say....it could simply be a characteristic of the brand of vitamin....different formulations can affect people in different ways, even with identical ingredients on the label.
> If anyone could help me out with this I would be much appreciated. I also quit eating anything with blue food coloring as I heard this could also have been the culprit...
Red, orange, and yellow dyes are worse.
> Anyways up for discussion I just have no clue and was curious if anyone else did. Thank you very much for your time.
Try a different brand of multi, and if the same thing happens, then we can start trying to narrow it down.
Good luck,
Lar
