B12 shots.

So my doctor after seeing my symptoms told me to get 5 shots at the gap of 3 days then 6 weekly and finally 4 monthly of 1000mcg

I've had 5 so far. But for some reason I could only get them weekly.

Are 15 shots too many to get overall?

Everyone I know has gotten only 10.

Plus, I only started to feel a bit better now. So I think 15 would be required. But everyone tells me 10 is just enough.

Any thoughts??

It's not actegimr I'm familiar with ax in the UK its 6 over 2 weeks for loading. Go by your symptoms. It's better to have more than to few in my opinion especially if yoh have neurological symptoms

You can't overdose on B12.

People vary a lot in how they respond so nothing that should limit you to 10
