Stopped taking B-complex and got overwhelmed — is it possible to be this sensitive?

I’ve been taking Dr. Chen’s B Max (a B-complex vitamin) daily for a while. Yesterday I ran out and didn’t take it in the morning. What followed completely caught me off guard.

Without it, I felt more connected to my body — my sense of smell and taste became noticeably sharper. At first it felt amazing, but soon I became overwhelmed. Even watching videos with movement felt like too much. I felt this inner panic, like I had to do everything fast or something bad would happen. It was a full-on sensory and emotional overload.

It made me realize the B-complex was likely numbing me more than I thought. I had no idea how much it was buffering me until it was gone. Now I’m sitting with this fear: If this is how my nervous system really feels, how do I live like this?

I’ve always suspected I’m sensitive, but this pushed that idea into reality. I even found myself thinking strange survival thoughts — like how I’d manage without my supplements. It felt that deep and intense.

I don’t want to go back to numbing myself completely, but I also don’t know how to stabilize without some kind of support.

Has anyone else experienced something like this? How did you find a balance — between staying present and protecting your sensitivity without shutting down? Any suggestions or shared stories would mean a lot.
