Thanks for the advice.
I'm not sure if my doctor will prescribe any B-12 shots for me when I see her next month after getting re-tested. I was worried that the shots might cause a severe anxiety reaction like the cyano. But based on what you said, it seems that it probably wouldn't. It will be interesting to see whether the oral supplementation I've been doing for the past month (1.5 months when I get the test in mid-Oct) will show any improvement.
I plan to stop taking all my B vitamins one week before getting my blood drawn for the test. Does that sound about right?

When doctors test people under the tongue with substances they cannot tolerate...the do get reactions. (this practice is not accepted by all doctors however).
But the cyano is what is triggering you, not the cobalamin part IMO.
Try swallowing instead of under the tongue. There may be no reaction that way.
