You will get plenty of potassium by eating a healthy diet. If you want extra postassium, eat bananas, but don't eat so many that you get constipated. To offset the constipation effects, make sure you also have some citrus fruits (oranges, grapefruits, etc.).
Benzodiazapine won't increase the amount of vitamins in the supplement and doesn't appear to affect uptake of the vitamins in your system, but check with your physician for specifics.
it's not a vitamin, its an electrolyte
It's not a vitamin, it's an element which is classified as a mineral since it's beneficial to the body.

Most of the vitamins mainly just contain combinations of carbon, oxygen, hydrogen and nitrogen.
Foods with high sources of potassium include broccoli, orange juice, potatoes, bananas, soybeans, avocados, apricots, pomegranates, parsnips and turnips, although many other fruits, vegetables, and meats contain potassium. Research has indicated that diets high in potassium can reduce the risk of hypertension.
