B12

by cbeam, Dec 30, 2005 12:00AM
If I order the B12 please tell me how much to give myself and where to stick the needle. Yes I need complete training!! LOL  I am going to the Bariactric Clinic 1-3-05, they only give 1 shot a week, I only spoke to the person over the phone, and she said anything more than that is too much.  Some of you guys confuse me about the dosage. I don't want to do too much because I did PHEN FEN when it was the big thing out, well 5 years later I had to have test run on my heart. I am OK, Glory to GOD, but I don't want to get to much B12 and later on in life grow an extra nose or something.  Could you guys tell me exactly how much you take in a valve and how often.

Vaney, do you give yourself the shot?  If so how much to you do?

Hi Everyone,
I have been reading about thee B12 injection and this is my experience over the past several years suing B12 shots.  Originally I started receiving B12 shots at a doctors office 3 x week. The results were as follows: I followed a 1000 cal diet and lost 23 lbs in 10 weeks, did not feel hungry too often and also had lot of energy. After that I continued giving myself shot 3 x week .15 ml each time, just for the energized feeling that I felt it was giving me. Currently I am back at a clinic getting shot 1 x week
.40 ml.  I did have a doctor write me a script for the injectionable B12 and needles and  it is very cheap to buy but also very easy to inject.

If the clinic is already giving you the shot once a week thats good enough.i use to give it to my self twice a week now i only do it everyother week,better safe than sorry.is phentermine the same as phen fen??? Whats the difference

the question i posted was for you

by cbeam, Jan 01, 2006 12:00AM
shygirl, to answer your question phentermine is not the same as phen fen. Phen Fen was a combination of phentermine and pondux (I think it is spelled that way) the combination of the 2 drugs posed a risk of damaging the valves in the heart.  Now Phentermine used alone or Pondux used alone is OK. It is just the mixture that was dangerous.  I took the drug for only 3 months, it was the best thing out. I swear by it. I lost like 30lbs in 3 months.  It had side effects though. Drugs like that actual work with neurons in your brain to send the message that you are not hungry. Anything like that of course will have side effects, but I lost all my weight so I didn't care,this was is 1997. I gained the weight back after getting pregnant and not doing the right things. I wouldn't do it again, because of the test I had to run to make sure my heart was OK.  I recieved 500.00 from a class action suit for even taken the drug. B12 sounds safe, but this is why I am going to a Bariatric Clinic to lose the weight this time.  I am 208 but I feel like I am 300lbs.  My body is very disgusting to look at.  My boyfriend of 3 years is sticking by me, but I can tell he is not attracted to me anymore.  I am going to lose for myself, but I want him to look at me like he use to also.  My self esteem is very low, it is amazing how fat can cause you to be soooo depressed.  This is another reason I am glad to be on this forum. God will put people in your life for a reason, even if it is by means or email.

hi.  i got my first b-12 shot from dr. kerendian on monday evening and i was wondering how long will it take for me to start feeling the effect? what i mean by effect is the energy that im suppose to have, so far i feel the same as i was feeling before the shot and my first day yesturday, i had the same appetite as before. he wants me to try the shots only for the first six weeks, and then if there is no change, he'll add the pills to the shot.  thank you

hi cathyzom

how did you like dr. k?
I think that the key is not to think about it. dont go searching for the energy. it took me about 2 1/2 weeks to see anything. it gave me more energy to exercise and more motivation to eat healthier. dr k never promised me big weight loss with the injection alone. but i did see it. I also read that looong message that other person wrote above about vit b12 only being used for anemia and stuff like that. how can she explain all these people on this site that are using it with good benefits. and on top of that, you know what?, you and i are not getting vit b12 alone. and i dont think dr k uses that cyanocob------ that this person is talking about either. he actually disapproves of that cyanocob------
by the way, did he give you b12 alone or did he use his mixture?

thanks for your reply.  he gave me the b-12 shot with the mixture. and on monday i'll be getting the second shot.  i know that he did not promise a fast weight change, afterall he did say one pound a week, which i think is good, but i thought after getting the shot, the next day i would feel an increase in my energy level but i dont feel any more then i did before the shot. and yes he was a very nice and honest person, he answered all my questions and even laughed at my silly comments about my body and told me he can help me.  i saw my pc yesturday and asked her about the shots and she said that not everyone can feel the effect of b-12.  some people do and some people dont.  so maybe im one of those people.  but hopefully the shots combined with the mixture will do the job in the long run.  tx

I have been losing my eyesight and control of my nervous system as well as zero engergy. i have trouble walking, the attention span of a 2 year old and very forgetful. i've basically consider myself braindead till i gave across this page and a few others that have help me discover a link to this problem. NONE of my hospitals or any eye doctors or anything can't tell me what is wrong with me or why i am goin blind and aeverythign else. basically just told me to deal with it. Now the problem is i have been abusing nitrous oxide almost every weekend and sometime during the week, yea i understand this is bad and i found a few articles that explained that Nitrous oxide will deplete the body's B12? is this true? how much is would have caused this problem? also these past 6 months my vision is less that 30% and i barely recognize what i am lookin at anymore.....So about the doctors telling me to just deal with it i find that disturbing even though it am sure it's my own fault and even explained this to aLL my doctor and they just dismissed this and said it's impossible to do that. said only people who beneift from B12 injection is people with anemia.i told him to give me a shot and he did. that whole day i felt great! i found a site online and ordered the 1000mcg B12 injection and also purchased the 100mcg injectables. i have been giving myself the injection in my arm muscle every day using the smaller(100mcg) injectables for the past week now. my ambition and walking seems like it's getting better, my energy has gone THROUGH THE ROOF! i mean it's like i'm a different person all together! i am wondering how much b12 is too much? i am kinda scared to use the whole 1000mcg injectable for fear of overdoing it(like it matters at this point). Can someone tell me if this is too much? also can someone tell me if the nitrous oxide might have cause this problem or do i just have brain damage?

by kathyde75, Feb 15, 2006 12:00AM
what is the name of the website you found the B12 injectables on? I go into a clinic to get them but would rather give them to myself if it's cheaper. thx

Is the B12 injection the same as B12 pills?
