Poor little thing ? I know the feeling well .......... the Doctors had me on 600mg of that stuff for about 5 years !! Excessive sweating is as a direct result of B12 deficiency........... the antidepressant Effexor xr is robbing you of your essential B complex of vitamins and this is one of the side affects. Pump up your intake of the B complex of vitamins hun ?
A deficiency in vitamin B12 will produce symptoms such as fatigue an exhaustion, headaches and migraines, numbness and tingling and prickling sensations in the outer extremities, dizzy spells, fainting and loss of balance, heart palpitations and chest pains,excessive sweating, excessive urination and dry mouth, night muscle spasms, leg cramps, nausea and vomiting, depression, insomnia and constipation, irritability and moodiness and an inability to think clearly ....Quite scary actually if you don't realise the vitamin factor.
Vitamin B6 is essential for the effective assimilation of B12, tricylic antidepressants will rob you of your B6 supplies as will pencillin and prednisone.
B12 is essential for the effective assimilation of your iron supplies, without it you will never be able to effectively absorb enough iron and will be displaying symptoms of iron deficiency anemia ie ~ fatigue and exhaustion, dizzy spells, fainting and paleness of skin.............. a good way to check if you are anemic is to check out the color of the inner bottom eyelid. If it is pasty and pale looking, that is a sure sign of anemia. If it is rich and red looking then you aren't anemic.
Eat more foods rich in vitamin B6 ie ~ liver, fish, cantalope, cabbage, blackstrap molasses, oats, eggs, roasted peanuts, wheat bran, wheat germ and unmilled rice.
Eat more foods rich in vitamin B12 ie: organ meats such as lambs fry and kidneys, skimmed milks and cheeses, fish and eggs.
If you are lactose intolerant or vegetarian then it is really important that you supplement your diet with a multi B complex tablet on a daily basis and focus on meat free iron rich sources
Things that could be robbing you of your precious B complex of vitamins are :- eating too much protein, alcohol, eating too much tinned food, laxatives, diuretics, antiobiotics, antidepressants (definitely effexor is causing these symptoms), penicillin, prednisone and aspirin and otc cold and flu medicines.
Also, try to cut back on drinks such as caffeine, tea, sodas and soft drinks as they are all B complex thieves........ as well as being great at dehydrating you.
Take a multi B complex tablet including all the B's ie: B1, B2 B3, B5, B6 and B12 as they work best synergistically (together).
The B complex of vitamins is essential for healthy neural, digestive and immune system functioning.
The B complex of vitamins is a water soluble complex and as such our bodies can neither store or produce them. Therefore we need to ingest them on a daily basis or suffer the consequences as you unfortunately are
When you take your daily B complex supplement ensure that you take it with some type of calcium rich food or a calcium supplement containing vitamin D3 as they all work in conjunction with one another. Quite a handfull of information here ........ sorry it's a bit long winded but you need to know all this.
When our bodies are placed under added stress such as sickness, relationship dramas, new job, school studies or just daily life really, the B complex of vitamins are usually the first group to get used up and we therefore need to adjust our intake accordingly.
When you are getting any stress related symptoms or any of the above mentioned symptoms simply take another B tablet. As they are water soluble our bodies will simply excrete any excess in our urine.
Drink loads of fresh filtered water too as the happiest and healthiest body will always be the most hydrated one.
I sincerely wish you the best of health & vitality buddy?
