Hi everyone,
I've been taking these iron supplements for a while now, since my anxiety started last year. My mum basically started giving me them one per day since we read online that anemia can contribute to anxiety. Now I'm starting to worry that they may be excessive and cound actually be bad for me?? I don't really know what they are (they look like this (http://drop.ndtv.com/albums/HEALTH/haemoglobin/haemoglobin10.jpg)), but I really don't want to be eating something that's bad for me. I've also read that excessive iron intake can cause serious health problems - what do you think? I'm going to stop taking them tomorrow, because I'm suddenly really scared that they could be dangerous for me. Would one per day of these little pills cause me problems? Also, if I stop taking them now, will my iron levels return to normal without any problems?
Thanks, I hope I haven't been doing anything stupid...
