How much folic acid and self Injecting

Hello

I've been self injecting now for 6 weeks, my ferritin before injecting was 63(20-150) and I haven't topped that up. Feel tired so I'm going take spatone . My folate before injecting was 24 (10-42 range) I'm taking Biotech 5 mg folic acid. Is this too much ?? I've ordered a good b complex with 400 mcg of folate in it, should I stop the high one and just take this? And experience would be great.

Thank u x
