200mg of iron supplements, twice daily. almost 24 hours since my first 200mg dose and am feeling extremely nauseated. does this go away? what can help

Take with food: GI upset is a common side effect of iron supplements. Try taking with food. If still having side effects may want to ask your doctor to switch iron supplements or try IV iron replacement. Good luck!
