I use the b12 sublingual that I get at GNC.  I put one pill under my tongue every day.  They dissolve in about 5 minutes.

I take a 1000mcg B12 pill once a day.  Works fine for me.

i take two 500 mcg pills a day under the tongue (one in the morning, and one at night).  i don't notice the taste either.  I take them when i take my multivitamin.
Where are we going??  And why am I in this handbasket??

right now.  somewhere.  somebody is working harder than you.

Go with sublingual (under the tongue).  Maybe use up your shots that you have...At your 6th month appt. you will see how your labs are with B-12.  Stay on top of that one (B-12)...once you fall behind it becomes very very hard to catch up from the problems it can create by not taking it.  Brian

I was lacking energy during workouts, and my PCP said it could be B12 deficiency, even though I was taking sublingual tabs. He said that a lot of the dose is lost through the very inefficient SL method, and that injectable is ideal. While I've never had problems with shots, I wouldn't have even known he was giving it if I hadn't been looking. It's a small, thin needle, and it's IM, so there's no digging for a vein.

The shots have made an energy difference for me.
