But do please keep in mind that improvements don't happen overnight. It often takes months + to show better numbers. Especially if you have other issues 'percolating'. I say this last part, because that is what happened to me, tho it's uncommon? It is not something to be dismissed litely.
Do read Mrs. D's info on B-12! It mite seem overwhelming at first? But if you take it in smaller bits at a time - it will eventually sink in. AND, will be very useful in the long run.
It sounds as if your neuro isn't asleep behind the wheel. He's testing and looking at [or trying to?] your whole picture. Keep at it tho, if the med causes bad side effects or if things seem to get worse. Do NOT be put off!
Keep good heart and have hope! - j
