[em1]

Hello I suffer with low Vitamin d and I know that can add to Anxiety,does anyone know if you can take Multivitamins and vitamin D tablets when your on propranolol and 50g of sertraline tablets as I've stopped taking my vits and I think this may help me,I'm also not eating much at all and my sleep Pattern is bad at the moment,I don't know why my mind keeps on going around and around the same Negative faults that send my Anxiety in to a spin I wish I had a off Switch so I can get back to the normal me again x

I take multivitamins along with zoloft and have not noticed any incompatibility between the two.

You should be totally fine taking a multi and D with your meds. I also had low vitamin d and i feel 75% better just from bringing it up. May I ask what your level was at when you had it checked?

I can't remember what it was last time but I know the docs said it was low,so I've put myself back on it in the hope it will make me feel abit better

You should take anywhere from 1000-5000IUs of vitamin D3 daily. I find the gel caps are more effective than the dry stuff. You want your levels to be above 60.

I had no idea vitamin D3 could have to do with anxiety! Funny I recently started taking a suppliment if it because I heard it can help with weightloss......I'm going to do what I do best and research/google.
Thanks for this post

we have a post by Amandi I think something about curing anxiety with vitamine D3, he acutally told me the same things as my dock go up to even 5000 u a day. She told me that all doctors take like 6-7 thousand a day. It suppose to help with the brain.... I am taking 3000 but i will up it:)

I have low D also. I was on prescription D (50,000 IUs) weekly until I reached a therapeutic level. Now I take 2,000 IUs every other day. I just asked my doctor about a multivitamin because it contains Vitamin D and she said "absolutely" because with a deficit, it would take quite a bit to reach a toxic level.

I think it's different but I'm not 100%

I do not know, but I know if it does not help , it does not harm also so happy taking, today I am going to up it. I take it for two months or so, and also the iron supplement from the doc and I feel better but i have no idea what helps. Is it the meds or the vitamins. Maybe combination of that plus the forum with constant support :))

There are two major forms of vitamin D-
Vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol)
Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol)

Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) – which is made in large quantities in the skin when sunlight strikes bare skin. It can also be ingested from animal sourcesl this the one I take...:)
