I have been trying to find the answer to this over the duration of many months, but have found nothing other than a few people who say they have the same thing. Maybe you savants can help. When I take a B complex I feel terrible. I have huge increases in OCD plus I feel overall nasty. The same thing happens whether it's standard or methylated.
When I take "active" forms of B12 separately, I feel terrible.
When I take the normal version of B12, I feel ok... but after a few days I feel terrible.
Even taking TINY amounts of B combinations, such as entering a capsule and pouring a small amount out.. literally < 1/10 of the full dose, has the same effect. This spans multiple manufacturers, furthermore.
I have one of the methylation mutations. So according to online wisdom, I should be taking those active versions.
At my last blood test, my b12 levels were 600 (200-1,000) and folate was 17 (no range given).
