> I used the sublingual tablets (one or two at a time) over the course of 9 months and was able to raise my B-12 level to 1150. I was a little concerned that I had overshot the top end of the normal range, but I asked my Dr. about it and he said to not worry about it since I had done it through supplementation.

There is no known toxic level for B12. It is an excellent scavenger for certain pro-oxidants in the blood. Even though you didn't notice anything subjectively, it was good for you to do that. Your liver will have stored a good portion of that B12 away, so you should have enhanced blood levels for many months to come.
