In reply to Any1 have flu symptoms or back pain w/ Deplin?, posted by Fivefires on November 16, 2007, at 11:07:53
5f,
Sorry for your flu-like symptoms.
Also, sorry for your disk problems. Do you have pain radiating down your arms? Twenty years ago, I blew out L-5,S-1. That was the worst physical pain that I have ever experinced. Pain down my legs.
How bad is the disk pain for you? Do you have a good orthopedic surgeon? In addition to the orthopedic surgeon, do you also see a chiropractor?
I see nothing in the Deplin prescribing information documents that mention your flu-like symptoms. The one thing I do see is that Deplin interacts with NSAIDs. Check it out:

I'd recommend that you take your Deplin in the mornings when you get up, not in the late evening.
Sublingual B-12 is an over-the-counter product not rx. The hard part is finding a vitamin store that carries the methylcobalamin type of B12. The most common from of B12 is cyanocobalamin. Call around to find a vitamin store in the area you live and see if you can find it.
The easiest way for me to find what I want is to order it online. In particular, I use this on-line store:
Then enter methylcobalamin into the search box. Do a second search for methyl-B12. I showed you the sublingual methylcobalamin that I like the best, but you can pick out one that you like.
Just to reiterate what I posted before, here are the sublingual methylcobalamin that I like best:

I care what happens to you, 5f, and I wish you the very best.
