A member asked:
Are b12 shots effective for ocd/anxiety? would it be good to take with and ssri?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Only if deficient: B12 deficiency can cause mental illness and might be a factor if you are deficient. However, if you are not deficient then B12 shots should not have a significant benefit. If your level is below 500 it is worth a try.
