I am b12 deficient only getting shots once a month will have 3rd one in 1 week. feel very tired and weak is that from low levels?

Depends: You may need more frequent shots, and may benefit from getting methylcobalamin or hydroxocobalamin instead of cyanocobalamin. You also may be hypothyroid, as B12 is involved in thyroid hormone function.
