Experiences with

Ferrous sulphate

I have found this information helpful and take my ferrous sulphate every other day now.

I’ve been taking 3 x 200 mg ferrous sulphate tabs every other day as you advised but I’m experiencing side effects that I could do without at the moment. I don’t want to reduce the overall dosage and I want to ask if 2 tabs taken once daily would be a reasonable and safe alternative.

I ask as my latest blood results have shown my iron is through the floor again (I have GAVE) so am waiting on iron infusions and they want me to trial ferrous fumerate as couldn’t cope with ferrous sulphate.

I am taking 200mg Ferrous Sulphate once a week as prescribed by my Doctor. I was originally on it daily but my dose has been gradually reduced over the course of the last year or so.

I am on ferrous sulphate, vit D spray, Igennus Super b complex and have added in Igennus triple magnesium complex. I have found that since adding the magnesium in I am getting headaches and not sleeping very well despite taking it earlier in the day.

I also take 100mg sertraline, 200mg ferrous sulphate, a vitamin C and a cod liver oil in the morning. many thanks Jason

And also is ferrous sulphate the right thing? It’s so hard because I have to follow this pathway for now. Thanks.

Since then I’ve felt increasingly unwell ( tired, light headed, occasional palpitations etc) and to add to my woes in September 2024 was diagnosed with anaemia and ferrous sulphate was added to my various potions.

He finished the ferrous sulphate so we bought ferrous glycinate and he’s taking 60 g of that at night since yesterday . I think he needs to go to every other night with the iron as Sue suggested on a previous post, he started probiotics L plantum V 299 today also to help absorb the iron.

Saw the neurologist yesterday, 6 months since first appointment when he put me on ferrous sulphate 200mg x 2 which I’ve been taking at night with vitamin C.

sulphate to help increase this in the hope of higher ferritin less symptoms but instead of it going up it has gone down now at 31 he's not sure how to move on from this so my gp has emailed a specialist for advise has anyone else's ferritin dropped while taking this and how have you managed to increase

I have been taking Ferrous sulphate 200mg for the last year. I also take otc Magnesium and vitamin D. I have used the magnesium oils on my legs and the other suggested relief options but absolutely nothing has worked.

Utter nightmare Ferrous sulphate which I bought privately at a 200mg dose didn’t do this when I tried that a few months ago so thinking I’d just ditching the fumurate and cycling between the ferrous sulphate and bisglycinate. Is there a huge difference between the two?

Plus Vit D supplements folate and ferrous sulphate. She was told she couldn’t have any more steroids.

I've been prescribed ferrous sulphate 200mg. Not sure what 30ug/L means though can anyone enlighten me?

I will get my ferritin levels checked, and in the mean time am taking Ferrous Sulphate I got from the chemist. But I need to do something TODAY to stop the horrors that lie in wait for me this afternoon. Any suggestions?

I have been put on Ferrous Sulphate but I can’t use it. My blood test for ferritin is 44 ug/L & it is only that high because I ate red meat I did do in desperation because the test last year was 10ug/L. I am vegetarian & I have great difficulty eating meat it seems to be hard to process for me.

Is ferrous sulphate the way to go and if so how much would I need to take? TIA

I'm currently taking b12 sublingual supplements hydroxocobalamin 1000mcg x2 every 2nd day) , iron 2-3 times a week (dried ferrous sulphate 325 mg, w/vit c 500mg) and vit c 500mg on top, just started taking a b-complex tablet every 2nd day and a vit d and k2 spray usually 3-4000 IU.

Not sure whether I should request the ferrous sulphate again, OR could it be PMR flare. I have felt pretty much ok since reducing to 10mg prednisone over the past week or so, A little tired maybe on some days. Has anyone else had similar issues at all? Bloods never seem to settled down!
