You are right about london being expensive, supplements bought in the UK are way too expensive, jarrow's methyl b12 is about 4 times more expensive than iherb charge.
I went to my local chemist today and mentioned to the Pharmacist that I was taking 5mg of methyl b12 a day and she said that 5mg was a very large dose and that it is not a good idea to take large doses of any kind of vitamin as it can be quite bad for you. Now im stuck as to whether to carry on taking the b12 or not...

Hi Mark, there's no research showing that B12 is damaging in high doses. That's because we excrete what our bodies don't use.
I had a pharmacist tell me to get a test to see if I had tetanus, and I did that and it caused so much trouble because there is not test to detect it, the test is to decided if you need a shot or not... but my doctor, after the results were in said the test showed I didn't have tetanus... which led to months of big fear and much pain, and I think that's why I'm still so debilitated today.
If you take notes on how the 5mg of methylcobalamin affect you, day to day, then you will be able to tell, in a few weeks as you look back, whether it has helped or not.
The stress of worrying about it may reduce the amount of it that gets to benefit you... please don't worry. Go to my site and read the research at the bottom of the page, that should be reassuring.
Are you in London, then? I lived on Sudeley Street by the Canal, near the Angel, and then on Goswell Road... which was a trip.
