Yes, I'd really do the 5mg methyl daily, on an empty stomach.
You have that Vegan history, which is very iffy for maintaining B12 levels. Not all of 5mg is absorbed you know, so it will just pass thru your digestive system and out into the toilet.
Only about 13mcg get absorbed orally from 1000mcg. That is not a whole lot. I suspect only about 20mcg from the 5mg.
RDA for adults is 2 to 4mcg daily.
