Just continue the course. You do not have to restart from the start.
But please ensure to keep taking the medications as your doctor suggested. Otherwise things won't get better.
Do you have pernicious anemia? By which I mean a condition where your stomach cannot absorb vitamin b12. Did your doctor do a test for that? If you have that then you need one b12 injection every year.
What is your haemoglobin levels currently?

Use B12 tablets with folic acid
Because only both can absorb each other, has to be taken together
And other what about, D3
Check also that, may be it's low
