I was taking the one time weekly nasal spray B12 that was prescribed by my doctor but its way too expensive.  I heard that B12 sublingual losenges are good. Does anyone take them and what dose do you take. is it a daily dose?  I found some online that are 500 mcg per dot...

Have you tried going into the Doc and getting the once a month shot?  That's what I do and it appears to be covered by insurance since Ive never had to pay a co-pay or anything =0)

In my losing stage, I took 2500mcg once daily, and then dropped down to 2500mcg every 2-3 days. I get them at Walgreens (they do buy one get one free every couple of months), or I purchase them from WalMart.

was that the sublingual tablet? The only ones I have found were 500mcg. I will check out Walgreens this week. Thank you. I will also ask the dr about the monthly shot and see what they think is best. Thank you for the info.

I use the sublinguals, cherry flavored. Walmart sometimes carries them.

I took 500 mcg a day for a while. My b12 numbers went to great++ and now I do them 4 days a week. We'll see how my labs do and I'll decide if 4 days work or back to every day.

It's easy - you stick it under your tongue and it dissolves. Takes a couple of minutes but you can be going about life while it's dissolving so no big deal.

I saw them online at walmart.com. They were a very good price too. I will ask the Doc and Nut to see what they reccommend. Thanks for the info. its good to know the ones walmart has taste ok.
