I went to the neuro for a normal visit and noticed he had me down as taking 1000mcgs of B12. I wondered if this was a typo since I only 100mcg of b12 as part of a b complex in my multivitamin each day, or if it was something recommended.
He had already left, but his assistant said she "thought" it was his recommendation. I take keppra and have been told to supplement with b vitamins from other sources, which i do thru my multi vitamin with b complex 25.
I have picked up the dissolvable lozange type and haven't taken it yet, but it seems like a high dose (1000mcgs), and I always wonder how adding something new might work with my keppra or with my seizures.
The vitamin store person thought it would just give me more energy, which would be great, but I dont know how informed she is, and the medical assistant saying she "felt" that the doc was recommending it wasnt super convincing either. I already take other vitamins and supplements, but wanted the opinions of the people here who live with the same things I do.
Thanks,

- Do any of you take as much as 1000mcgs of b12 as a supplement?
- If so, what method do you use to take it? Pill, dissolvable lozange under the tongue, a shot?
- And, does it have any effect on you positive or negative?
