Guest guest Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 My doctor usually likes to start kind of slow and build up if necessary.

Guest guest Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 Ok problem with that is on my Iron pills it took me months to get my levels up and to feel better. Don't forget to stop your iron pills about 5 days befor doing labs or your Dr. will tell you your doing fines and your going to feel like crap. Labs on Iron pill always look better then they are.
