I had low iron, low vit D and fatigue, depression and anxiety. It turned out it was b12 deficiency. B12 is a very important vitamin and b12 deficiency is usually associated with anemia. My b12 level was 200. Even after a month of suplementation. The lower range is too low. B12 is not toxic. Please check your levels. Good luck. 🍀

Have you tried sublingual lozenges of B12 in the form of methylcobalamin? These have been very effective at treating my deficiency even better than injections. I took 5000mcg of methylcobalamin lozenges sublingually for 2 months.
Hope this helps.

Hi,
I’m sorry you had to go through that and I wish you a speedy recovery.
It appears that most of your symptoms are of psychiatric nature, and according to my experience, B12 deficiency can cause horrible psychiatric symptoms from depression, anxiety, psychosis to hallucinations. The the fix is usually pretty simple; B12 shots or B12 lozenges. Do you know your current B12 levels? According to Sally Pacholok, author of Could It Be B12, levels should be greater than 550 pg/ml.
Quoted from her book:
“Among the most common psychiatric symptoms seen in people with B12 deficiency are the following:
• confusion/disorientation
• memory loss
• depression
• suicidal ideations
• mania
• anxiety
• paranoia
• irritability
• apathy
• personality changes
• inappropriate sexual behavior
• delusions
• hallucinations
• violent/aggressive behavior
• schizophrenic symptoms
• sleep disturbances
• insomnia
• changes in taste, smell, vision, and sensory/motor function that can be mistaken for psychiatric problems”
“At this time, we believe normal serum B12 levels should be greater than 550pg/ml. For brain and nervous system health and prevention of disease in older adults, serum B12 levels should be maintained near or above 1,000 pg/ml.”
Excerpt From: Sally M. Pacholok & Jeffrey J. Stuart. “Could It Be B12?.”
