anxiety over the top...

[jyearta]

I am taking dilantin and clonazepam, these have my seizures under control. However I have to get the B-12 shots every 2 weeks for fatigue.

I have to have to B-12 shots however 2 days after the shot my anxiety goes through the roof.
I can feel myself shaking and getting upset of nothing.

Does anyone have this like of problem. or if you get irritable how do you handle this?

I would appreciate any help.

My neuro is pushing for B12 shots, too, but whenever I take B12, I feel agitated. Do what I did...tell her there's no way you can get B12 shots because there's no way you can get a ride every 2 weeks. Worked for me, at least temporarily...

Thank you.

when I tell my Dr. (both family and Neur.) said that was not a side effect. I was beginning to think I was going crazy.

I FINNALLY found a site on the internet that states when your body has to much B-12 in the body it will bring on anxiety and panic attacks. (I would give you the site--I forgot)

I know that I have B-12 deficiency due to taking dilantin all these years. and when you read what can happen if the B-12 levels get to low. It scares me.

I guess I am giving myself the shot to often (every other week).

Again I thank you.
