Re: pantothenic acid - does it help anxiety ??

I find pantothenic acid helpful in conjunction with liquid lecithin - but only a small dose (of the B5 that is). The B5 helps the lecithin get into the brain (I heard). Anything more than ~200mg and I feel overstimulated/wired and start feeling crap with insomnia. I prefer to take it as part of a B complex - then I don't have any problems.

I found this does not happen with all B vitamins. I can take 100mg B1 on its own very happily (excellent for anxiety/irritability), and also B6 in its co-enzyme form I have found fantastic for calming.

By the way, I found I couldn't handle B complex whilst taking St Johns Wort - it made me anxious. However now I am not taking sjw, I can happily take a whole B50 pill and it has a positive effect. I'm assuming this to be the effect on noradrenaline from the sjw, which is further enhanced by the B vitamins. And for me, too much noradrenaline is bad news. Which is a bummer as you usually have to go through noradrenaline to get to the dopamine thang, which I generally need more of (before I turn into an unmotivated, mute, socially reclusive lump).

Probably too much info there - sorry!
