Does anyone use, or have used, the B12 patches? I've been reading about them and it seems 1 patch is good for a week? Is that right?

I used patch md's b12 for a couple of months.  I had a hard time sleeping with them.  You have to put a fresh patch on daily, not weekly.

Some of them contain other B's like B6. Too much B6 is toxic. If you use the patches - make sure your doc tests not only B12 but also B6.

The patch only lasts about 12 hours.

I take one sublingual B12 per week. It seems easier than fussing with the patch every day.

I do the patch for my multi though.

Hey Grim, which multi do you use? I just found out I won a 3-month supply and not sure which to try.

When I got mine, there was only one multi patch, I think they call it the multi plus. I've only been using it for a month and a half. I was also low on calcium, so I started doing the calcium/D3 patch also.

Yup, that is what I was thinking. :)
