Re: Ferritin now of 10, is ferrous succinate not good or just need more time?

[QUOTE=beautyofspeed;3693222]Actually my ferritin level is 10.

I haven't been able to actually speak with either my doctor or my naturopath since I found out my ferritin went down to 10. This is because I always get the lab to send me my results in the mail (that's how I know my ferritin is 10 now). I have a doctor's appointment coming up on September 3.

So yes, I agree, I have to find out what is causing the low iron in the first place. I feel the worst I have ever felt. and the more ironic thing about this is that I am finally free of antidepressants after 10 years of being on them (went off in December 2007), so I felt like I was finally getting my life/health back. I am wondering if that is part of the problem with the low iron.....

has anyone else ever had any correlation with iron levels and antidepressants?

Thanks!

My ferritin is 7. I still don't know what my cause is either. I will say that I think the correlation between antidepressants and anemia is that it is pretty depressing to be anemic! I don't think it is the pills causing anemia, but anemia causing a need for antidepressants!! Just one depressed for many years, anemic for many years, person's opinion.
