A member asked:
I took low dose iron supplements for about a month, before realizing they were doing more harm to my body than good, as i'm not actually anemic. i'm a week off of them now and experiencing weird symptoms. are these withdrawals, or just psychosomatic?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Iron supplements should not cause withdrawal symptoms and best for you, if experiencing any kind of symptoms, would be to see your pediatrician or general practitioner for a detailed symptom review and exam as needed. That should offer you some clear answers and peace of mind.
