Anyone else suffer from anxiety after loading doses?

[buster_uk]

I have done my loading doses and am on my second every other day injection so 8 in total. Today its taken me ages to wake up and I have the most horrible anxiety feeling everything seems to be amplified making anxiety worse. Having no one to talk to is also making things worse.

Any advice please.

Just recently started my loading doses as well. Have had some increased anxiety and some odd sensations in my peripheral nerves. I attribute the odd sensations to healing, not sure what to make of the anxiety.

Thank you EllieMayNot. Today has been so bad for me. Feel like I am dying. I'm hoping it's just the repair that's happening that's heightened my senses. I know I've been deficient of both iron and b12 for over four years. Now my body is full of b12 and have been taling iron tablets for 7 days. Maybe my body and brain is not used to all the excess chemicals and reactions that's happening.

Certainly hope you feel better very soon!

I had anxiety initially. Try and go with it. It should improve with the treatment.

[buster_uk in reply to Nackapan]

Thanks Nackapan. Maybe a strange thing to ask you. But am I right in thinking you ware glasses and you mentioned the odd feeling on your head were the arms are? Today I can feel my glasses like they are clamping the side of my head. I've never felt it before today. Just wondered what it could be.

What is your folate level like , had severe anxiety feelings before I got both that and my b12 levels up .

[buster_uk in reply to Av42]

Folate level not been tested. But I guess it is also low. I take 400mcg of folic acid a day.

[Nackapan in reply to buster_uk]

I've had that awful vice like clamp light all the way through. Sometimes so painful have to take my glasses of and just sit with my eyes closed. Now finally been told part of headaches. And or cranial nerves in overdrive

What was your folate level? Are you taking a folate tablet as b12 needs folate to work properly. I know lots of people also take a general b complex tablet to help balance out the other b vitamins.

Did you also have your vit d levels checked?

[Nackapan]

That's good to hearrange it's subsided for you.

[buster_uk]

Thank you for your answers. I'm taking a B complex that has folic acid in it 400mcg. Also vit D3 and mag. Iron and potassium.

After my first loading dose I wondered if it was the right thing to do, initially felt more energetic, major palpitations, couldn’t breathe properly and felt anxious. Second gave me numb face and mouth, very scary, then after the fifth I suddenly realised I felt more normal and after 6th felt lots better apart from blurred vision and tingly hands and feet. Now two weeks on, back to square one and having been told by doc I’m not giving it long enough, I’ve just ordered b12 to self inject.

Yes, I felt the same for days after each of my loading doses.
