It works out to being just a little bit less than what the ASMBS recommends. They recommend 350-500 mcg sublingual a day, but you can take a bigger amount once a week instead of doing it every day. So if I divide 2000 by 350, it comes out to 5-point-something, which means you're probably taking enough for five and a half days instead of seven days. Which might be enough for you, it really depends on your labs.

My b12 must be off. My surgeon has me taking 2500 mcg every day. I never got the number though. I have had one b12 shot and have been offered them instead of the pills. I'm leaning that way. I hate the taste! Oh and i take sublingual.

I am on the nasal spray. It is once a week. Nascobal. Bright pink. Kind of odd.
I can't remember my levels last time around, but they were not good so now we are trying this.

Sublingual, nasal spray, patch or shots? I give myself a shot

How much B12 do you take and how often do you take it? I get one shot once a month

Do you know what your B12 level was the last time you had labs done? If so, what was it? no idea no labs done yet.

I'm taking the 10,000 methyl sublingual about 4 times a week. My last labs (too long ago) had my B12 dropping from the 800's to the 600's when I was using the 2500 Walmart brand every single day.

Still can't convince my pcp to give me a prescription for shots

you know you can get them on line for $30-$50 or less for 30ml? (30 dosages, 1cc= 1ml).

I get mine prescribed by gyn doc. No issue there. Needles/syringes - can get them anywhere - even amazon for ~$13 per 100.
