Was being treated for anxiety and panic disorder issues since last 8 months.

Got a new symptom mental confusion ... Psychiatrist said do B12 testing ..Report 228 ( normal 230 - 1000)
D 8.9 (normal above 30) . Have an appt with her again tmrw.

Will ask her whether B12 was the root cause and should I stop anti-anxiety now that I am on B12 shots.

What say you ppl ?

I think the B12 shots aren't going to stop your anxiety. They can help but what concerns me is the Vitamin D test. A lot of people suffer with a vitamin D deficiency with anxiety.

I would suggest holding off on stopping your meds for at least a couple months and see how you feel.

Talk to your psychiatrist and see what he or she thinks.

Make sure that your GP and your P-doc are in comminication with one another.

Get the combined advice from them about how to proceed with your meds and suppliments...it is important that everyone is on the same page as far as your treatment goes, both physically and mentally!

Let us know what you find out and how it goes.:)

Ditto my therapist says . She wants me to continue with anti-anxiety meds along with the B12 shots

Okay, at least you got your question answered.:)

Let us know if the shots of B12 give you any relief from the anxiety...and keep posting!

I agree with your Psychiatrist - Your B-12 is not that low and you are receiving the shots but that will not gaurantee your anxiety is going to just disappear. I would continue the meds until you are sure your labs as well as you anxiety are within normal range.

I am wondering which Vitamin D level you Dr. had lab do?

No idea abt What D levels apparently there is some standard test Vitamin B12 /D which these therapists recommend just be on the safe idea. My Neuro A month back also asked for this blood test but that time I ignored.
