Brief Answer:
Neurovitamins/Vitamin B supplements are proper but other better choices available

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I have gone carefully through your query. I would insist you to get your blood tested for Calcium and Potassium. The given manifestation could be due to electrolyte imbalance. Taking juicy fruits like citrus fruits and bananas can help. If that does not seem to provide relief, I would insist you to try taking Hicobal (methycobalamine) 1500 mcg per day.

Regards
