Dr Lason, vitamin B3 deficiency cause anxiety, depression, fatigue

Wednesday 2 June, 2010 7:34 PM | Anxiety And Depression | Marilena

For 30years, Joan Mathews Larson, PhD has been treating addiction, anxiety and depression with natural supplements in order to correct the underlying biochemical problems which cause these conditions. In this video clip, she tells how a deficiency of vitamin B3, niacinamide, can cause anxiety depression and fatigue. She also notes that vitamin B3 can eliminate a kind of alcohol psychosis that causes paranoia and feeling quarrelsome. Note: the doses of vitamin B3 used for this are several thousand milligrams, which is a much higher dose than is found in multiple vitamins. Dr. Larson also points out that anti-anxiety medicines such as Valium, Xanax, Ativan, and Librium attach to the same anti-anxiety receptors in the brain as vitamin B3. She also notes that when the patent for Valium ran out, the drug company, Hoffman LaRoche, admitted that they got the formula for Valium by trying to copy the chemical structure of vitamin B3. Imagine that. “Niacin, vitamin B3, [ later she corrects this and says what she meant was niacinamide, which is the non-flushing form of vitamin B3 ] reverses a kind of alcohol psychosis that people who have been drinking typically have, where they feel paranoid, and quarrelsome, and may even have sensory disperceptions… “Niacin [ niacinamide ] will turn that around completely. “[ People with a vitamin B3 deficiency ] may look like they are schizophrenic, but they’re not. “If you treat them… and at the end, we do all our testing again… that is …

You’re welcome.

Two other compounds that have anti-anxiety effects are

- GABA
- Inositol

You might also go to Dr. Larson’s website and read about anxiety.

It’s a very good, informative site with lots of great information.

Very informative and compelling, but please correct the last bit of the video. Spelling makes all the difference in helping people take things a little more seriously. Addiction is spelled wrong. People might need help with addition, but this video has nothing to do with math skills. Please change it.

Thank you for letting me know.

Unfortunately, the only way to correct it is to delete this video clip, and upload a new one which would have a different URL.

So anyone who tells someone, “Hey, you may be interested in this clip,” the video would not be there any more, and the person would not necessarily know that a new, corrected video had been uploaded.

I agree – interesting.

The fact you appear to be referring to is that Joan Mathews Larson notes that the anti-anxiety drug Vallium was made by trying to copy vitamin B3, niacinamide.

I’m so sorry to hear that.

Thanks for sharing the information.

I would talk to a doctor who practices natural medicine.

I imagine they can help you solve your problem of panic and depression.

It might be as simple as taking some tryptophan and some other nutrients.

You might also contact Dr. Larson via email or phone and ask her.

Here contact info is listed at the end of the video.

yes, it’s been terrible and the problem is probably bigger than one could think. there are many sites helping people getting off these drugs , thank God.
I’m from Portugal and i think our natural doctors don’t even know these supplements exist. thank you!

can you be tested for nutritional deficiencies through regular blood tests?
larryshobbs Said,

April 27, 2009 @ 11:04 PM

You might do a Google search for “portugual orthomolecular medicine” to see if you can find a doctor near you.

It’s unfortunate that doctors are unaware of natural medicine.

Yes, there are tests you can do in order to determine exactly what is causing the problem.

Dr. Larson is big on doing lab tests.

This is one of her complaints about psychiatry — they don’t do any lab tests.

Everyone they diagnose with depression is treated the same.

But treating everyone is a mistake.

Dr. Amen says “treating everyone the same invites disaster.”

It would not let me post a direct link, but to see Daniel Amen, MD noting that “treating all depression the same invites disaster”, …

search my YouTube videos for:

“Dr Amen, treating all depression the same invites disaster”

and for:

“Dr Amen, depression is a symptom, not an single illness”

many months since a comment is on here. I have been very depressed since about 13 years old when i got my first panick attack. I have been masking the problem with alcohol and i am 33 and my depression and anxiety are at their worst. I have cut down tremendously lately and the anxiety is going down but the depression always seems to linger. But i remember even before the anxiety i always felt kind of down and tired as a boy. You think this could be a vitamin deficiency?

markenhagen,

I don’t know.

I would not try to guess.

If possible, I would go see Dr. Larson.

She does lab tests for everything to figure out exactly what is wrong.

Psychiatry does not do this.

do all the supplements, and a high impact cardio training like Karate 3 x’s week. You won’t have a choking, stabbing, or depressed feeling again. Hard CARDIO activity.

How much Niacin should I be taking a day?
Can you overdose on Niacin?

DJ,

Dr. Larson notes in her book that she uses anywhere from 100 mg to 3,000 mg — a wide range.

If it were me, I would start with a small dose, maybe 50 or 100 mg, taken 3 or 4 times per day — with each meal and at bedtime.

Niacin causes flushing, which many people do not like.

Niacinamide, which is also vitamin B3, does not cause flushing.

For this purpose, you will probably want to use niacinamide.

Niacin and niacinamide are very safe. I would not exceed 3000 mg.

@larryshobbs Why do you think when i take niacin amide of 250mg or greater along with my intake of 5htp of 200mg per day causes wired feelings and nauseousness, But if i take niacin amide alone like 1000mg it doesn’t do that but i begin to get angry and agitated again. I take 5htp and fish oil and vitmins because i had low serotonin and gaba i also take taurine.

The first day i stoped takeing 5htp and took like 1000mg niacinamide I was feeling very relaxed, but after that i felt i needed 5htp.

Thank God for people like Dr. Joan Larson!

Magnesium is another important nutrient that when in short supply can cause “mental health” issues like anxiety and depression.
