I have found that my sleep patterns changed dramatically (for the better) after I began having B12 replacement therapy.
I did my web site because I was so shocked at what low B12 did to my health and my cognition. I was so shocked in part because the doctors I'd gone to were keen on antidepressants and had not even mentioned B12 for a long long time. I don't think my deficiency would have been identified if I hadn't tried to kill myself. After they revived me at the hospital they did a B12 test and mine was 120 or 114, I forget, but very low.
Since my B12 replacement I've not felt suicidal again despite dealing with very similar stresses.

In terms of the symptoms returning after supplementation is begun, one thing that can account for that is an increase in stress... I find that happens a lot.
I was doing really well, then a man tried to break in because the Wells Fargo lawyer had said my home was foreclosed and vacant, only it's not. (I find lawyers to be deplorably lacking in ethics and morality.)
Back to B12, whenever possible use the Methylcobalamin form in lozenges, as it works much better than the Cyanocobalamin form.
