vitamin b is water soluble, so all the excess should just come out when you pee, however vitamin b is also used in energy drinks and energy products because it "wakes you up", so it could very well just be a side affect of this.
if you are unsure however, you should consult your doctor or medical personnel, as it might be something else, and I am not qualified to respond to this, more than the information I've read and have no medical training, so it could be something I am unaware of.
take care and how you'll get it sorted.
@y0din it’s not that it wakes me up. It wakes me up with a proto hangover.
have you checked the side effects of vitamin b? seems like you are experiencing several of those, but it is almost impossible to "overdose" vitamin b since it is not stored in the fat cells like for instance vitamin d does.
Some of the side effects listed below:
Injectable vitamin B-12, which is used to treat significant deficiencies, can cause the following side effects:
mild diarrhea, itching, skin rash, headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, pulmonary edema and congestive heart failure early in treatment, vein thrombosis, sensation of swelling, polycythemia vera (rare, slow growing blood cancer)
Vitamin B-12 can cause very rare but serious allergic reactions (anaphylaxis). This includes swelling of the face, tongue, and throat, and difficulty swallowing and breathing. If this occurs after you take vitamin B-12, call 911 or your local emergency services immediately.

(edit; added some commas to the list to improve reading)
ALWAYS check with a trained medicinal personel, again I can not stress this enough if you are unsure.
I will say that B12 supplements are magic if you're legit low on the stuff. I was marginal, then started on a new medication and I got weird peripheral nerve tingling. I started on the B12 at the suggestion of Dr. Google and it cleared things right up.
Regular doctor confirmed that Dr. Google was right and she was annoyed the specialist that prescribed the new med (metformin) didn't also tell me to take B12.
