Usually;takes time &: This is usually at least partly reversible but it may take 6-12 months. It depends on how long and severely one was deficient. Best to use hydroxycobalamin or methylcobalamin forms of B12; also B complex with L-5-MTHF. Also take ashwagandha, bacopa, taurine, Lion's Mane mushrooms, fish oil, turmeric, acetly-L-carnitine, phsphatidylserine, CoQ10 and PQQ to recover. See http://tinyurl.com/j55jkpm
