When people are low.... and you are low... less than 400, then B12 is moved out of the serum into the CSF around the brain, and also stored in the liver. It will sometimes stimulate red cell production and this can lower serum potassium. Not in everyone but some. So make sure you are eating potassium rich foods.
I hope you are taking your oral B12 on an empty stomach, for best results. The methylcobalamin injections need to be refrigerated while stored also.
I am wondering how a young male was diagnosed with post partum depression?

I wouldn't go to that doctor anymore!
Here is a link to a medical page for you to give your unbelieving doctor: It is specifically written for doctors, but easy enough for most other people to understand as well. Seems your doctor needs some continuing education.

B12 is not a cure all for everything. In fact commonly people low in have insomnia, not the reverse. Many psychiatric symptoms may be due to some other reason.
