Riboflavin is excreted when taken to excess, and imparts a bright-yellow
color to the urine.  As for the depression, who knows?  I wouldn't
ascribe as much to the vitamins as to a placebo effect, but why argue
with success?  I'd recommend seeing a doctor if these depressive symptoms
recur with any frequency or severity.
