I've now had my 6 loading doses of B12 and also started using a sub-lingual B12 spray. I have not felt any better as yet but I have felt a kind of nervous energy, it almost feels like irritability or a vague anxiety. I wonder if my body does not quite know how to handle the change!
Has anyone else had something like this?
Yes sounds very familiar. It does settle.
Improvements often take time.
As does working out a frequency to suit you.
what was your serum b12 level before your first injection?
Be sure to take potassium as rebuilding hemoglobin can cause hypokalemia or low potassium levels which can cause the symptoms you are describing. At least that is what I've researched. Anyone else?
Just want to add to your post for others, that is should be potassium from diet. Potassium is a very delicate balance for the heart.
Low magnesium can also make you hyper, and I was advised elsewhere to take magnesium as a cofactor.
I take a magnesium supplement - I find it helps with muscle aches and also with brain fog - so that should be ok.
Is the spray methylcobalamin? This can have that effect. It made me very jittery and headaches, so unfortunately I had to stop taking it.
It is, yes. Its not too bad at the moment but maybe I'll try another type and see if that makes a difference.
Might be worth a try, as I know of a few folk who have had probs with the spray. Good luck! 😊
I feel cuckoo for cocoa pops with any methylcobalamin.
I am so sensitive that once I bought a front labelled hydroxycobalamin spray and felt it again. Turned the bottle over and it contained methylcobalamin as well.
Cuckoo for cocoa pops made me laugh Litatamon ! 😂😂 I know what you mean though... I felt like I was vibrating into a blur! 😜
I have tried all three forms. A couple of years ago I decided to try a methylcobalamin shot. I did not sleep the entire first night.
I sleep like a baby with cyanocobalamin shots.
All the best to you whatever the issue is in your case. It is hard to figure things out with many of us trying to get a myriad of vitamins & minerals in order.
Yes, I remember that! For a while my emotions were all over the place - anything and everything, happy, sad, whatever, made me want to cry!After a couple of years of daily SI it settled down so much that for a while I felt totally flat - nothing could raise any emotional response in me.
But after that my normal started to return and I feel just right now - with the variability that you'd expect from reaction to events, the seasons, etc.
Hang in there - it's very early days as yet - but with enough B12 often enough to suit you, you can be pretty well and "normal" again!
Ok, so it seems it's going to be a bumpy ride for a while. I will have to wait and see how it goes longer term. Thanks!
ways to cope with low energy?
Hydroxocobalamin and nervousness 
Elevated b12, getting nervous 
Why don’t I notice an increase in energy? Have had three b12 injections.
Hoping for direction to get my energy back
