Re: Iron supplements and anxiety

[QUOTE=dalmatinka]Hi all,
I am new here and this is my first post.
I am 46 y old female with hypothyroidism and low iron / ferritin. I have to be on iron supplements for long time. My problem is that I get bad anxiety from iron supplements. I have tried different brands and forms, and I always get bad symptoms. I was taking feosol for few weeks without problem, and then I suddenly become weak, faint, a lot of anxiety and panic attacks. I have tried Floradex and other licvid forms, and I get immediately anxiety even after taking smaller dose then recommended.
I would like to know if there is anybody else here that has similar problem.[/QUOTE]
Have you spoken to your doctor about this. It could be that your blood sugar level is being effected by the hypothyroid condition and that an ingredient in the iron tablet is aggravating it. The stabilizers and preservatives they use to make the medications can cause allergic reactions in some people. Speak to your doctor about this.
