I tested low for B12 and high for folic acid.

My B12 came back as only 148 when the range is between 199 and 732. I want to start taking something for it right away. The doctor wants to meet with me but I wasnt able to get an appointment until Sept. 6. Any suggestions on what I should do until then? I also tested high (19.1) for folic acid (2.8-13.5). The pharmacist thought this was unusual. I havent been taking any supplements besides 1-2 Flintstones vitamins per day. Now that Im showing signs of deficiencies I would like to start taking something a little more powerful. But what does a high Folic acid reading mean and how am I suppose to take a complete vitamin without getting more of that in?
