Hi lindsey****
thanks for your question
Vitamin B complex and Vitamin C are two vital water soluble vitamins in body. Deficiency of Vit. B1 pyridoxin, B12 usually manifest in form of burning sensation under feet and tingling in extremities along with drowsiness or tiredness. So continue taking these nutrients as prescribed. But please do take precautions as take with plenty of water, or with lime juice, avoid tea/coffee at least 1hr before and after medicine.
Secondly please get your Vit b12 and folate level checked, B12 level is usually in 300-900 in a healthy adult female, and if its more than higher side you can stop to take further b complex.
Iron deficiency may also cause tiredness and tingling so please get you hemoglobin level checked for proper diagnosis, till then continue taking medicines.
hope i solved your query.
