I've been on my menstrual cycle for over a month straight. i have symptoms of anemia. how many mg of iron should i take daily?

Two issues: Please see your doctor for the prolonged bleeding to find the cause and have proper treatment. You may take over the counter iron pills 2-3 times a day, as tolerated, take the pills withe meals. See this site for more info on oral iron. http://www.mayoclinic.org/drugs-supplements/iron-supplement-oral-route-parenteral-route/description/DRG-20070148
