After B12 supplementation serum levels are normally being pushed above normal, over 1,000. There would be something amiss if the levels would not sky rocket. High serum levels after B12 supplementation do not say a thing about whether you have had enough B12, all it says is: you have been supplementing. Period. After B12 supplementation the B12 serum level - no matter how high - does not say a thing about the amount of B12 in the tissues, in the tissues it could still be very low.
In case of a B12 serum deficiency, one may not stop with B12 supplementation unless the cause of that B12 deficiency is known and unless that cause has been treated succesfully - no matter how high the B12 serum level is. One must look at the symptoms, not the serum level, to decide whether one can lower or even stop the amount of B12 taken.
Taking lots of folates when having a B12 deficiency is NOT good.
What was your serum B12 level two years ago if I may ask?
1/4 capsule of AN and 100mcg ofmB12 as a sublingual isn't much when having an untreated B12 deficiency.
Again: you serum level does not say a thing anymore.
Do you have typical B12 symptoms? Look at the thread about the B12 documentary please.
Saying this to you, it seemed to me it could not wait,, but sorry, I am in a hurry. I hope I made some sense here. Good luck to you.

Say that again and again. That can cause neurological damage, especially Subacute Combined Degeneration in the brain and cord.
