Been searching online but it gives me plenty of options, it seems.

Is it true that a low vitamin-D deficiency can make you feel a bit down in the weather, so to speak?

    Decided to quit drinking for at least a few months (not for any dramatic reason, just noticed I was no longer enjoying booze).

    Realized I was low on B12 and B1. Started supplementing, feels good.

        It's also called Thiamine/thiamin. If you drink regularly, you might be low on it because alcohol inhibits your body's ability to absorb b1 and b12 which are both important for nerves and stuff.

        Those two b vitamins are both water soluble too, so it's very hard to take too much of them (not that I'd recommend trying to). At worst your stomach might be bothered.

        Edit: if you're already doing a multivitamin, that should have both, you probably only need to supplement more if you have a deficiency
