Vitamins are really good for you as not all of our diets provide what our bodies need. Especially with all the processed foods on the market which strip away vital nutrients. A multi vitamin is a great choice as long as it is one that promises to deliver the vitamins. Be sure to choose a brand that carries the seal of USP or NSF so that you know it is a quality vitamin that will actually be absorbed by your body, not just passed through. Here is a great article from the EmpowHER community about vitamins and their role in being healthy.
Catherine5655, I would definitely run by any vitamins you want to take with your doctor that treats you for GAD. The safest route is to talk to your doctor before taking anything.

You sound really healthy and that you are on top of things. Have you talked to your doctor about taking vitamins with GAD?
Here is an article I came across that has information about nutrients and herbs for those who suffer from GAD. Hope this helps!
