Hello. Excess of vitamin B12 may cause headache, dizziness, diarrhea, indigestion, upset stomach, vomiting, nausea, back pain, swelling, arthritis, anxiety, nervousness and lack of coordination. Eat potassium-rich foods or take a potassium supplement when eating vitamin B-12 rich foods. Potassium can reduce the absorption of vitamin B-12 into the body. However, high potassium consumption can cause toxicity, so never exceed your recommended potassium intake unless instructed by your doctor. Take a vitamin C supplement with vitamin B-12 rich foods. Vitamin C may destroy dietary vitamin B-12. You should consult your doctor asap.
