If you are really low in B12... and I suspect you are, it will take some months to get better. Low B12 is very common in India.
A reading like yours without discontinuing at least 3 days before testing, shows a potential for still being low. You want to strive for 1000pg/ml until your symptoms resolve. Never get below 400pg/ml after that.

Many papers on the subject are available from India on PubMed and Google, and you should be able to get MethylB12 there. I believe it is called mecobalamin.

Lipoic acid there may be called thiotic acid. We have had posters from India list the medications their doctor gave them, and methylB12 was in them.
