I want to add a very important factor in taking a B-complex whenever taking the components of B vitamins. If you take only components (B-6, B-12, ect..) seperate, it will leach out all the other B vitamins if you don’t take a B-complex once a day. Just makes sense not to just take one component without the whole B vitamin.
Just a word of wisdom to always seek the natural in its complete form.

i take them 2 times a week. I do 1 cc each shot.
I do notice that they wear of after a week or so.

My dr. did say that i could take as much as i needed, because your body just urinates out the excess. But i also heard that there is a very small risk of eye nerve damage with the cyanocobalamin form. So maybe you dont want to take huge doses. Ask your Dr. about that.

Im taking the hydroxy form and it is less stimulating that the cyano form. Which was good for me because i felt kind of nervous on the cyano form.

But it definately helps alot.

Hi there great site and very helpful too. As a CFSer of 11 years, Im thinking about doing one, more sites like this are needed.. Thank you for yours.

I’ve been experiementing with Cyanocobalamin injections and are finding them so far helpful to my memory and mindfog. I can actually now do very simple maths in my head again due to them . So far thou they havent helped my energy or anything else. Due to a MTHFR polymorpism, I should be having the Methylcobalamin to donate methyl group.

In my case no doctor would agree to allow me to try B12 injections, (my memory issues were so bad that I couldnt even remember at times what simple objects were or even looked like), so out of desperation, I started doing this treatment myself. (Here in Australia one dont need a script to get these ampules).

I have no real idea how much of these most CFSers are taking? or what the recommendations of dosage are for this?. What were you told as far as how often to have this?? (I notice it worn off within 4-5 days).

Thanks..

hi jen,
my dr. didnt think that hydro b12 worked as well as methyl or cyano. She said that methyl was by far the most active form.

Ive tried the hydrox and cyano forms. The hydrox didnt help that much over the long term, it is less stimulating, but didnt help as much as the cyano. I think there reason i noticed more of an improvement that i was talking about it above, was because i accidentally injected it into a big vein in my leg.

Not really sure, but i switched back to the cyano and it work alot better for me.

Also the hydrox and methyl forms are very expensive.
But my insurance paid for some of it.

I have extremely terrible fatigue and have been taking b12 injections. (regular) (along with the long list of everything else…) I am taking all the sublinguals of the different b12s, but I am wondering if they might work better in injection form. Can you tell me why your dr. was resistant to prescribing this type of b12 injection? Is it working better?
