As there is no evidence of any potential for overdose (there is no established Tolerable Daily Intake Level), and supplemental B12 is quite inexpensive, the potential for benefit from taking B12 totally outweighs the risk (because there is no known risk).
Some doctors are coming to believe that stress increases the need for B-12 by many times the typical requirement. It seems like a simple thing to add to the diet, just to be sure.
