Thanks for writing to Health Care magic, I am Dr , Muhammad Ahmad , I have read your question closely, I understand your concern and will be helping you with your health related problem.
Stopping a prescribed drug by yourself is never a good idea, it's always advised you discuss with your doctor , he will consider getting your test done if he finds you defficient in vitamin he can suggest your further medication , if vitamin level is fine now he can think of other causes of your symoptoms. Many oral vitamin supplements like Centrum have vitamin B complex in them and there are specific ones too but stopping a prescribed medication without doctor's suggestion only on your own thinking is not advised.
I hope this answered your question, If you have more queries I am happy to answer you. Regards.
