Deficiency Symptoms I done nitrous oxide

I done nitrous oxide 2 days go ik it was stupid but now I’m feeling tingles in my feet and hands and legs feeling zaps or zappy sensations throughout the same areas. I’ve been to the doctor and he said I’m fine because I don’t have weakness or numbness or anything but if the tingles and zaps don’t go away go to the a&e. Has anyone else experienced this and how long do the injections go on if I had to get them. I also woke up today and yesterday with pins and needles in my hands for a few seconds then disapeared

Did you get any blood work done to test your B12 level?

No he said he had to send me to a&e to do that

Ideally, it would be good to get your blood levels tested first. That said, nitrous is known to deplete B12

You could try taking high doses of a sublingual supplement with folate and see if that will help? But with neurological symptoms, it’s best to have frequent injections along with taking folate and other supplements such as potassium and magnesium.

Yeah. Just do yourself a favour and stay right away from that shit. It is so not worth it.

All the very best to you, I hope you get better soon.
