Taking additional B12 hasnt been found to be of benefit, Dr
A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in 153 older adults taking the antidepressant citalopram found daily supplementation with 500 g vitamin B 12 , 2 mg of folic acid, and 25 mg of vitamin B6 for one year did not reduce the severity of depressive symptoms but increased the response to drug treatment and helped to prevent symptom relapse (112), suggesting B-vitamin supplementation might provide some benefit as an adjunct therapy
Any service, whether online or in-person, that claims to sell you B12 shots without a valid prescription from a qualified prescriber is breaking the law and should be avoided at all costs
