Has Anyone Noticed A Change In The Frequency That Your Seizures Occur When Taking B12 Or D?
I have done some reading and wanted to research this more for myself. If you are/have taken B12 therapy, whether it's by shot or pills, have you noticed anything difference in regards to the frequency of your seizures? Same for D? Also, if you take a multivitamin, which would you recommend?
I take One A Day Viramin or Organic Vitamin Juice with a B-Complex Liquid Vitamin. My body feels great--- No seizures.
Increased Meds And Leg Problems

Is this normal, part of getting used to it?

My body's adjusted to the combo. I was hyperactive for a week, now it's junt my usual ADHD hyperactivity.
