Interesting. You may probably benefit from taking the active form of B12, methyl cobalamin.

You could start with a low dose in the range of 100-200 mg and increase over time, without rushing it.
Methyl-B12 is typically more stimulant as it crosses the brain blood barrier.

Lastly, if methyl-B12 works okay you should accompany it with some methylfolate, 200-400mcg typically.

Cheers

One brand that seems very effective is Enymatic Therapy Infusion B12.
In the 1mg dosage all major brands seem to be equally effective, although some will argue the above is the best around.

Does hydroxyb12 not cross the BBB?
