My b12 levels were 180 in December and now I started taking b12 supplements only 3 days ago and now my b12 levels are 466. Should I stop taking them? Or continue it for a month as prescribed?

Something is wrong with one of the tests. I don't know what vitamins you have been prescribed. If it is tablets please take the treatment for at least 2 months. If it is injections then you should take 5 injections on alternate days
