B12 and mental health

[JBLOVELL]

I am seeing my psychiatrist tomorrow and was hoping to gain some knowledge about B12, as it’s the only avenue we haven’t been down. I have hypothyroidism and I am classed as psychotic apparently. I have severe panic attacks and am generally depressed. I take Levothyroxine, t3, Pregabalin, propanol, venlaflaxine and quetiapine. I have managed to get my vitamin d up to 150 and was wondering if I could be deficient in B12. Apparently it’s in range, as is my folate and ferritin. Could I ask for B12 injections based on my mental health alone and if so, how can I convince them?

B12 - 512ng range 200-900

Folate - 6.73ug range 2.70-18.60

Ferritin - 66ug range 10-320

What are the results for all these? Can you please post them, with their reference ranges and unit of measurement for B12, then members can comment.

It's used to treat hyperthyroid patients

Having said that I was stuck on propranolol for almost 20 years and hypothyroid (see my profile)
