Other than getting the right amount of B12, has anyone found something that helps with the anxiety aspects of deficiency and PA? Medication or therapy. On numerous occasions my GP and neurologists have suggested antidepressants but I’m very loathe to do down that route. Even the medication being suggested

This is mostly because I am vegetarian and I worry about not consuming enough of the nutrients found in high amounts in meat, such as vitamin B12 and iron. To some degree I view supplements like a nutritional insurance policy, making up for any gaps in my diet. Plus, what is the harm, right?
