I hope you come back here with results so we can get some better idea of what is going on.
You might try giving him a copy of this article:

Whatever dose he gave you probably doesn't matter. You are almost surely getting more over the long run with your oral dosing, and of course unless you are extremely unusual you are building (or have built) stores which will show in the test even if you stopped right now.
Please be sure to stop your B12 a few days before your sample is drawn for the B12 test.
Most people are low in Omega 3 because so many things in our modern diet now lack it. Mrsdoubtfyre/mrsd is the Omega 3 expert.

I just got back from my appointment and my b12 was 920. I told him that all my symptoms are the same with one new one. My vision is going blurry. Not all the time it comes and goes. I also woke up around 2:00 am one morining and had a heavy burning feeling in my lungs. I just thought I was getting sick. When I woke up later that morning it was gone. Anyway Doc thinks my b12 is good but he would like me to have an MRI and to see a neuologist to have some nerves and muscle tests. Iam begining to think this may not be b12, I guess time will tell.
