I had anxiety as a symptom of b12 deficiency. Once on enough b12 it went.

Get waves occasionally.

Nothing like I've ever had before thus illness. As nog associated with events.

So must be the autonomic /, nervous system in overdrive .

Hope you get regular b12 treatment again.

Oh yes, one of my symptoms was I was so nervous every minute of the day it was unbearable. You know the saying..can't stand to be inside my own skin? That describes it. When getting enough b12 don't feel that at all. I might feel anxious or fearful in reacting to events in my life but never never that awful relentless nervous feeling when I don't have enough B12.

Yes, absolutely I experienced exactly what you’re describing. In the early stages, the anxiety was episodic, but as the deficiency developed without proper treatment, the anxiety was severe and constant. I had just about all the symptoms one can experience. It was agonizing until I received proper treatment. At that level, you can expect a long, slow recovery.. It’s likely B12 injections will make you feel sick before it gets better. You need loading doses and frequent enough injections to keep symptoms away for good. Best of luck to you.
