Hey I'm looking at what vitamins I can take to help with Anxiety, and a few other things I've bought Magnesium Vitamin B12 and 5HTP 50mgs and I'm wondering if these are ok to take all together? And what else I could take I suffer with anxiety and obsessive thoughts and worrying. Thank You

All fine to take together but never heard of the 5htp though? Maybe ask about that in a heath food shop? 🙏

Ask a pharmacist

I take L-tryptophan(for low mood) and Holy Basil capsules(Anxiety) and they work really well for me. I also take Magnesium and B12 and I take these altogether with no side effects.

Be careful with the 5htp as it is known to increase serotonin and too much serotonin could be dangerous. It is in essence a substitute to an antidepressant. Its OK to take with b12 and magnesium but definitely don't take if already on ssri or with St John's wort for instance. 50mg once a day 5htp is a small dose, not sure it would help.

You could try a multivitamin tablet? I use Centrum for women.
