ive been vegetarian for a year (this coming Aug. yay) but id get dizzy alot so i decided to start taking a b12 suppliment (cus you guys keep on talking about it so i figure it must be good). So ive been taking it for a couple of weeks now and ive been feeling a bit weird. for example- i get so hungry and weak that i kind of start shaking, my hands mostly, i cant hold any thing , not a soda bottle or even a straw (im trying to drink a soda with a straw right now heh ) but then i start eating and it gets better but the thing is that i cant eat for too long. I'll eat enough to the point to where my hands stop shaking but then i start feeling like im going to throw up and i pick out all of the icky things about how the food tastes, even if it tastes okay. Has any body else felt like this before with B12? or maybe thats not even it, im going thru some familly issues, but still - could it be the B12? should i be taking a different sup. instead? thanks for any help you may give. ::edit:: just thought id add that ive been peeing alot too.. i usually dont go that often but now ive been going to the bathroom every two hours or so..:& .. just something to think about.
yea, i'd recommend seeing a doctor about it too. i tried googling it and all i got was stuff saying that those symptoms are caused from a lack of b12, which is obviously not the case. but just from hearing it, it sounds like you might be getting too much. you say your vegetarian? not vegan? so do you eat eggs? b/c if you do, you are already getting plenty of b12 from that. a body really doesnt need but a little tiny amount of b12. which i take a multivitamin which has some b12 in it among other things...so its not as strong of a dosage. but i'm no doctor, so i'd recommend seeing a professional about it. like you said, it might just be from stress.
