It will go away when it stops. Isoniazid causes numbness due to a peripheral neuropathy that is due to Pyridoxine or B6 NOT B12 deficiency. B6 replacements help relieve the symptoms

Its a common side effect but tell your doctor you are expereincing this. they might suggest vitamin b12. Its important not to stop the isoniazid but talk to your doctor or nurse.
