Can you get a headache with to much B12

[Chocolate41]

Hi

I have noticed over the past few weeks since I have upped my B12 that I am getting headaches.

I never usually get them so I am a bit concerned.

Thank you in advance for all replies. X

I was prescribed B12 by doctor and it made my ibs-d worse and completely trashed my sleep. I wouldn't take it without being prescribed again for sure.

If prescribed b12 by dr you need to take it. There are so many things that this simple vitamin does within our bodies. Just look at all the people on the pernicious anemea forum who are virtually begging for it to be more often as they have so many health problems which can be helped by b12 injections.

Perhaps a blood test is needed to see what your levels are.

I agree. There is a difference in prescription and self medication.

If you need to boost you your levels and not get side effects, I'd highly recommend black strap molasses. It's marvellous stuff. Are you drinking more in case it's a dehydration headache?

[Chocolate41 in reply to Shoe16]

Yes I think I need to drink more.Hopefully it's just that.

I do feel much better to day panic panic.
