Could The Numbness In Leg And Fingers Be Due To Interaction Of Supplement Intake With Prescriptions?
I take several supplements and have wondered if they may be interacting with my prescriptions-just checked out B-12 on-line and since I take it twice a day in --Hair Essential vitamin-10 mcg- and--1000 mcg- B-12 capsules-could these be causing some of the numbness I am having on my leg and now fingers? I already had xrays on my leg and nothing is visibly wrong. Thank you so much, and is this a free service you are providing on-line?

Its unlikely to be due to drug interaction. On the contrary to your assumption, Vitamin B12 is used for treatment of peripheral neuropathy and numbness.
I would suggest you to get a thorough evaluation by your Neurologist.
