Guest guest Posted October 14, 2011 Report Share Posted October 14, 2011 Hi Cab, You write: <But, B12 is supposed to be an energy booster and I normally never give myself an Vitamin B complex injection or B12 sublingual after 3:00 pm. If you are taking it before bed, I don't think that is generally advisable, espicially if you have insomnia problems. It is usually supposed to be taken when you need a boost of energy.> Me: I am aware that B12 is an energy booster, however, B12 is good for many problems. I took B12 during the day for skin burning (a neuropathy symptom) and decided to try it at night just to see what would happen for other neuropathy symptoms. (I used to also take injections, btw, for ongoing problems with pernicious anemia.) It worked great at night (and only taken at night, btw) for calming the vibrations I felt as I lay in bed. It also gives me a great sleep! I used to (decades ago) actually take B12 sublinguals to help me sleep for awhile. That effect soon wore off, however, and I was left wide eyed all night again. But when I use it for calming vibrations, it does not keep me awake. When I have a " wired " feeling and can't sleep, it seems to help me calm down, so I can sleep, too. I am not saying it will work this way for all, but it does for me. Also, there might be a point where one reaches sleeplessness if they take too much B12 over many nights. You don't want to just get into the habit of taking B12 at night. Rather use it only when you are wired or feel " buzzy " or vibrate. And use only a good quality sublingual. This is the one I use, but these also come in other potencies: http://www.solgar.com/SolgarProducts/Methylcobalamin-Vitamin-B12-1000-mcg-Nugget\ s.htm I hope this helps others as it has helped me. It is wonderful finding something which will address such a great need. Now I don't feel at the mercy of the emfs all night.

I took a methyl-cobalamin sublingual. You might require a lot at first. After a while I could get relief with fairly small amounts. Diane, In addition to many supplements, I give myself B-Complex with Methylcobalamin shots in the butt about every 2 weeks. I also take B12 liquid under my tongue on occasion, n between. <snip> http://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/vitaminb12/ Energy and endurance Due to its role in energy metabolism, vitamin B12 is frequently promoted as an energy enhancer and an athletic performance and endurance booster.
