Has Anyone Tried Lipotropic and B12 Injections and Experienced Weird Side Effects?

By shy20 on 22 Jan 2013

I got a lipotropic injection today and I'm experiencing itching in my feet, legs, and hands. I'm also getting shocks in my feet nothing severe but noticeable. Is this a normal symptom and has anyone experienced this?

Hi there, welcome!

Are these injections to replace Liposuction, or did you have them in conjuction with Liposuction?

They can be used either way.

You're one of the first people I've heard about having them. Maybe call the doctors office and check if the itching and shocks are normal for these injections?

She said she never had a patient complain about itching or shocks and it must be an allergic reaction and to take benadryl. I still itch and have these shocks but it has gotten better on its own. I also had a weird taste in my mouth after the first shot but I haven't heard of anyone having the same symptoms as I do. So I was a little worried.

You could always post your question in our ask a doctor section. Once published the question goes out to board certified Liposuction doctors, who may be able to give you more insight.
