You can take the 400mcg Metafolin every other day or so and avoid the cutting of the tablets that way.

Stay at the 2mg B12 or 1mg a day. Your level was not terribly low, just marginal.

Are you on gabapentin or Lyrica? They cause water retention.
Too many carbs and sugar also retain water.
Some tissue swelling may occur RARELY with high B12 levels, but yours are not really high.
Salt is only one culprit.

Low thyroid functions also lead to fluid retention.
And kidney and heart problems will also.
