That is the only reason. FDA requires an RX for 1mg or more of folic acid or folate.
It is up to you to decide when to start it. It should be taken on an empty stomach for best absorption.
You haven't been on B12 at all before?

I have been on Vit B12 methylcobalamin a few months after my PN started. Got it from you. The last b12 test I had was August 2012 and my result was 1999. Since then I take my vitb12 twice a week to comply the 5000mcg (mine at home is 2500mcg). I will have my b12 test in May so I want to stop it so I can see my real number without supplementation. I remember, though, in one of your posts that only 3 days is required to flush out all b12 in the system. I hope I remember your post right. :-)
