Very confused on maintenance dosage.

Hi guys. I’m an extremely anxious person and unfortunstely every Info I’ve been reading is confusing me immensely…

so I have been vegetarian for 8 years. My doctor always said testing b12 isn’t necessary since I’m not vegan. Well 9 months ago I convinced him and payed for a test myself. Only holoTC is tested. I was at 30pmol/l so my doc was alarmed. Cut-off in the lab is 35pmol/l. I then took Cyanocobalamin for 3 months, 1000mcg daily. After that my holoTC was 135. Doctor approved and told me to take the same pills only 2x per week. 3 more months later (now) we tested again. HoloTC = 77pmol/l. I asked how to continue. He told me to now only take the 1000mcg pills once weekly.

I am really confused. Is 77 really good? Do I take Cyanocobalamin or are other forms better? Once or multiple times? This form seems to be absorbed well I guess. But what about dosage?

Thank you so so much for your help. maybe I can calm my anxiety somehow.
