Hi.im toni I'm 48..I was diagnosed with b12 deficiency and pernicious anemia when I was 26.i was having b12 injections every 12 weeks for years.then for the last 2 years I now have b12 injections every 8 weeks..when I was diagnosed back then, there wasn't much info about.but now there is..and I want to learn alot more.i suffered mental health for 30 years and was put on venlafaxine..at a dose of 225g a day..I decided to go to my docters and ask to be taken off them.they weaned me off them in 2 weeks.and was the worse 2 weeks of my life..but I got through it..I since found out that it could of been very dangerous to be weaned off in that short time..but luckily I'm here and survived it..I have 2 grown up children. Daughter age 24 and a son who's 27..
