Hello Doctor,
Thanks for prompt response.
How long can i take these supplements.
Total B(B1,B2,B3,...) has all more than daily required percentage. Does it shows any side effects if i take it for long time.
Do you recommend any tests or other supplements along with these.

Brief Answer:
Get B12 and D levels done.
Detailed Answer:
Hello again
No this will not cause any significant side effects. Take one tablet per day for around 6 weeks. But also get your B12 levels done, if the levels are in good range then no need to take these supplements.
No get Vitamin B12 and D levels done to rule out any deficiency. Also get Thyroid Hormone levels done to rule out any thyroid issue which is also an important cause of anxiety.
Thanks.

You should take B12 supplements too.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Yes D levels are low and you are already taking D supplements.
The levels of B12 too are in normal but in low normal ranges. At this levels you should take B12 supplements for at least 4 weeks.
Rest all tests are normal and no need to intervene at this point of time. Hb and Thyroid are normal.
Thanks.
