Doctor told me my iron ferratin level was 9.8. He said that wasn't that low, but another doctor told me to take 325mg of ferrous sulfate iron 3 times a day. I started to do that but after a total of 325mg a day my stomach was in pain and then went to terrible diarehha the next day! Does anyone know if 100mg would be enough to bring the levels back up and is 9.8 really that bad? I've had extreme weakness and a bunch of other symptoms, but we think that is all caused from taking Toprol...but maybe some of my symptoms are causes of both. How long does it take before you're feeling better?
