Lately I've been feeling fatigued partly because of the late nights and the drinking. I was wondering if B12 shots can give me energy during the day since I'm pretty much a zombie after a late night. How long do they last for?

If your B12 is low yes, otherwise probably not. If you have insurance or can afford it I'd get a basic blood count ran at your md just to make sure you aren't lacking in other areas. Just tell the md how you are feeling and he should know what tests you need but ask for the very basic first if you don't have insurance because blood tests can get very expensive.
Also make sure you are on a woman's once a day multi vitamin. There is a difference between a woman's vitamin and just a regular vitamin. Us women need iron while men don't.





I do the complete B complex, and yes, it gives me energy and even makes me horny.





Doesn't B complex make your pee funny colors? I like to be prepared.
OP, do you take a multivitamin right now?

When I was really low and anemic I had a super B12 shot once a week, and YES it gave me energy. I felt like superwoman, but I was really low in B12 levels at the time.










^ Yup, the same as if you take a b vitamin




So where do you go to get a B12 shot, and/or to get your B12 levels tested? And how often do you have to do the shots?
I'm thinking I might need it, b/c I'm vegan and I know I don't get it in my diet.

Your md can have your B12 levels checked via bloodwork. You can give yourself the shots in your leg. If your B12 is super low he will write you a prescription for a vial of it and tell you which needles and syringes to get. The needles are very small, the same ones diabetics use to draw up insulin.



There is a spa in Las Vegas that offers B12 shots. So maybe I won't need the blood work. Alcohol depletes B vitamins.. Once I've finished dancing - no more drinking for me.![]()
