Guest guest Posted December 14, 2001 Report Share Posted December 14, 2001 I've gotten the high dose injectible hydroxycobalamin, and then used it sublingually. It actually worked better than the nutrisorb hydroxycobalamin because it's a higher concentration. It makes it easier to get a higher dose. It works sublingually, but my experience was that it worked just slightly less than injection, and it worked better to divide the dose and take it several times a day, preferably after a meal, so that what I do swallow would be more likely to be absorbed because of the intrinsic factor that is secreted during the digestive process. It has just a slightly salty taste to it, but otherwise doesn't have much flavor. But just to be on the safe side, I alternate shots one day, and sublingual the next. I think that for people that simply can't do injections, it's a viable option. You'd still need the prescription, and still have to get it through a compounding pharmacy. And I'm sure that if you told your doctor what you were doing with it, he'd think you were crocked. lindaj@... neuro b12 > In a message dated 12/14/01 5:29:13 AM Eastern Standard Time, > writes: > > << hi! i was just wondering if any of you injecting b12 have tried the > sub-lingual neuro b12 - i don't know how prices compare - maybe it's too > expensive. just wondering if anyone tried it and thought it didn't work > as well or something... >> > > I am taking neuro b12 (methylcobalamin) I was doing injections for about a > year and a half, but it was very troublesome, as I couldn't do them myself > and the last time I did one it hit a nerve and the pain was excruciating, > that's when I stopped the injections.

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2001 Report Share Posted December 14, 2001 Hi I read your message and was wondering if you were doing the b12 IM (in the muscle). I did gamma globulin that way and it did hurt more and occassionally I would hit a nerve. But if this is the case, the b12 in the fat (subq) also works and is much easier to do and less painful. Maybe you could give that a try? You didn't really say if the b12 was helping. I am very excited by it, after only a few weeks it is one of the best things I have ever tried.
