How long will it last?

5 Replies

I have been taking iron supplements for just under 3 months and vitamin D tablets for about 2 months. Can anybody tell me how long it takes for iron deficiency to go to normal levels and also how long for the vit d?

Will my anxiety symptoms also go away? I just want to feel happy and normal again. Does anxiety ever go away?

Hi there :)

I'm on my 2nd month of b12 tablets, I've been told by my doctor that after my 3rd month to come back to have another blood test to check the levels.

I would have a word with your doctor and see if you need a blood test to check.

Hope that helps xxx

Have you tried mindfulness?

Its a great way to control anxiety, i use calm.com on my iPhone.

I do it in the morning and before bed.

Give it a go, it may help :} x

Hello

Iron tablets/tablets can take several months to get into your system. Your body will only take the amount of iron it requires then pass the excess in your urine. The GP can test the amount of iron in the blood. Sometimes they will have you taking iron in shorter time periods as they find the body may be able to handle the medication better in that way

When you clank and your toes and fingers go a rusty colour you will know when to stop

I take iron supplements but not for anxiety. I don't think it takes very long for it to start working in your system. Anxiety does go away..... I think things in our life cause it to come back ..... things that can't be fixed overnight. But it can go away !

Not what you're looking for?
