danielle23 0 Share Posted November 20, 2005 Okay, I have been on b5 for two weeks now and I have experienced a slight numbness/tingling in my arms and hands. Is this common or should I start taking a b-complex vitamin also? I am not going to stop taking it because I am just now starting to see results, but I was wondering if this side effect is due to the b5 causing other vitamin defiencies.

brandolynn 288 Share Posted November 20, 2005 Personally, I think you should stop taking it.It could be you have gotten all your other B's out of whack by taking so much B5, in which a B-complex might help, but I still would advise you quit taking the B5 altogether.

danielle23 0 Author Share Posted November 20, 2005 Yeah, I agree..if this continues, I should definitely stop taking it. I'll try the b-complex and drinking more water first though. I just don't want anything scary to happen. That's is what ticks me off, this is supposed to have zero side effects. Maybe it's all in my head. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamstan 1 Share Posted November 21, 2005 I get numbness and tingling in my fingers and toes and somtimes it traves up my arms. I dont take b5, but it is because i dont drink water and am dehydrated, so definatly try drinking more fluids before stopping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, one of my friends suggested that it could be that I have carpal tunnel because I sit at a computer most of the day. No I won't stop taking just yet, but I am going to try some of the things suggested first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PITHY QUILL PALADIN 0 Share Posted November 21, 2005 Why is locks speaking about Calcium? Are you taking that too... Cause B5 is d-calcium pantothenate. Too much calcium can cause stones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
