What kind of vitamins to take to relieve stress?

B-Vitamins are always good and there's actually a natural lithium orotate supplement that works wonders for stress. It's NOT the synthetic prescription form of lithium. It has no side effects and just takes the "edge" off of stress and lightens my mood. If you're already on any prescription anti-depressants, be sure not to go off of them "cold turkey". You have to work with your doctor to gradually wean yourself off if you choose to use natural supplements instead.
You can find it at the link below...
Exercise, fresh air and 15-20 minutes of sunshine each day will also help with stress.
Hope this helps!

Taking your vitamins in the morning really can help you feel less stressed throughout the day. In particular, you may want to take a Vitamin B complex, Calcium and Magnesium, and Vitamin C. You should always talk to your doctor before beginning any new vitamin regimen to be sure you take a mix that is safe for you and your particular situation, but vitamins are a quick and beneficial way to relieve stress if taken appropriately.
Heres some other ways too!:
2. Listen To Music During Your Regular Activities
Music has proven health and stress relief benefits, and can be easily used in daily life to relieve stress. Busy people can turn on music during their morning routine, commute to and from work, during dinner, or at other times to relieve stress as they go about their daily activities. It takes virtually no extra time, and provides real benefits. (Learn how to use music in daily life for stress relief.)
3. Practice Breathing Exercises
Breathing exercises are a great way to relieve stress anytime and anywhere. They're simple to learn, simple to use, and can be done on the spot when you feel tension, immediately helping you to feel better. One very effective exercise is to 'inhale peace' and 'exhale your stress'. For more effective techniques, read this article on breathing exercises.
4. Learn To Say No
How much less busy could your schedule be if you said no to all new commitments? It's sometimes hard to say no, however, especially if you're concerned about disappointing or offending people. Learning to diplomatically say no is quick and simple; this article on how to say no can help you get started, and with a little practice, you'll do it easily and without thinking.
5. Develop a Positive Attitude
Optimists and positive thinkers experience better health, less stress, and more 'luck' in life. While it takes a little practice to develop a more positive frame of mind, the practice takes little extra time and can really change your whole experience of life and how you live it. After some initial learning and a bit of practice, and the rewards are continual, which is a pretty bit payoff. Not sure if you're an optimist or pessimist

I don't know of any vitamins that "relieve stress". Try getting plenty of sleep, exercise, eating a healthy diet and doing some meditation or relaxing activity in the evenings. Some people enjoy reading a good book before bed while others love a hot bath. Find what works for you.

you don't have to take vitamins. Caffeine relieves stress but only in small amounts. a cup of coffee every once a while.
I would try to take B vitamins like B6 or B12 because they help you metabolize which can also perk you up but thats just my speculation.

just relax there is nothing to stress over. Listen stressing out wont make anything go away and it doesnt make you feel better and it doesnt help anything so whatever it is dont let is stress you out. Life is to short to worry. maybe you should listen to dont worry be happy!!
