I took my first B-12 shot last night and today I feel so tired, more tired than before. I took cyanocobalamin 1000. I thought t was suppose to make me feel better not worse? I have a B-12 deficiency. Is this normal?

    Give it time. It might take a few days before you notice a difference. I work in a health clinic and we give quite a few B-12 shots and everyone has said it can take up to a week before they notice a change.

    When I first started B-12 shots I would feel worse for a day or two. If you are that concerned, you may want to call your doctor as they know your medical situation :)

    thanks, I found out my potassium was a little low on my test, From what I read, they should of began treating me with something for that before they gave me the shot because b12 shots can deplete your potassium... nice... I ate a banana, I don't know. these dr's are so frustrating.
