Brief Answer:
You should not worry just stop taking multivitamins.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor's service.
I read your query and here is my advice.

I think that you are having elevated B12 and folic acid levels most probably caused by taking more vitamins then needed.
I think you should not be concerned because they will not cause any harm to you and if you stop taking multivitamins the levels will drop gradually.
You may need to stop taking the multivitamins.

Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
