Since B12 is OTC orally, you don't need your doctor except for testing.
Lozenge (sublingual) is not necessary if you take it orally instead, in high dose 5mg a day on an empty stomach.
The empty stomach is absolutely crucial for success. Chew 'em up and swallow. Only 1-10% is absorbed, but if you take it every day you will get higher blood levels than with injections.
Methyl form is the one to get. It runs about .30 a day.
The other thiamine is Benfotiamine. Both of these are affordably available on iherb.com I suggest the Doctor's Best Benfotiamine at 300mg a day, to start. Jarrow makes a good methylcoblamin too.
I'd consider r-lipoic acid as well, so you can read about it on here by searching the index page using the search in the upper right. keyword= lipoic acid. Stabilized is no more expensive and very effective at 100mg/day. Doctor's Best is stabilized form.
