Vit B12 Sublingual

I'm sure there's been 8000 posts about this in the past....

My surgeon originally had me start out on monthly B12 injections; though now suggested I do sublingual.  I cannot make out his handwriting & I can't remember what he said as far as dosage goes.  

If you take the B12 sublingual, how much do you take??

Thanks in advance!

Costco has some nice sublinguals that are 2500 mcg so I use them, they melt nicely

A lot of people do 1000 mcg

Do you take the 2500mcg each day? 

Right now I do, if my numbers are too high next time I get my labs done, I'll back down a bit. I was extremely exhausted in late February and early March, so I upped it to daily, and am still quite exhausted daily (I was working double time in preparation for being out for surgery, in February adn March, and am working double time now after returning from a five week hiatus).

My surgeon recommends 500 a day (can't remember the measurement).  That's what DH takes, but I don't like the flavor of that one.  The one I found that I DO like is 2500 a day.  I only take it every other day though.  

You should be able to find one or more mg dosage sizes of B12 at any GNC, Vitamin Shoppe, pharmacy, nutrional store, etc.  B12 levels will be checked on labs. I took the ones from GNC (forget mg size, and bubble pack dispenser does not list dose). I took these daily, and adjusted according to labs and surgeon recommendation.  I took a sublingual B12 daily, and first labs were over 2000. Surgeon said take every other day, and next labs were only slightly less. I then stepped down to 2 per week, and levels were still over 1000.  I then stopped using them for some time.  At 4 years B12 levels were around 600, so I began taking a couple per week again. Each patient is diffent, so labs are the deciding factor for each individual.

I take 2500 mcg SL daily.

I buy them cheap cheap at Kroger. (I hit the BOGO when they have it)

My yearly lab revealed a B12 on the high side but doc was happy with that.

I take 5000 mcg per day currently.  I do occassionally (once my labs are done) change this if needed.  At a minimum I never take less than 2500 per day.

You can get the Nature Made brand at Walmart for around 5 bucks.  They dissolve quickly and don't taste nasty.  I take 2 a day, everyday.  I think they are 500.. I can check the bottle when I get home, but my B12 levels are right where they need to be.. and I'm not paying the GNC prices.  Plus, the ones I tried from GNC took a long time to dissolve.  Just my 2 cents :-)

I also take the Nature Made from Walmart.  They are tasty and disolve very quickly.  I bought Bariatric Advantage right after surgery and they took forever to disolve.  I didn't pay attention to the mg on the bottle, but my levels have been fine.
