Posted on Thu, 17 Mar 2016
Question: I started taking vitamin D3 a week ago and since then I have been feeling more nervous and seem to have more anxiety. The other meds I take are lipitor, norvasc, ziac (all generic) clonazepam and mirtazapine, lumigan drops and flonase. Could this vitamin cause me more anxiety? should I stop taking it?

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome here.

In my opinion, vitamin D3 does not cause anxiety. I have never read or seen this side effect in my clinical experience.
You should not stop it if it's really indicated for you.

You have mentioned that you are taking mirtazapine and Clonazepam already.
there is a possibility that your earlier symptoms are coming back.

I would suggest you to consult your doctor and discuss this.
