I have been on this for about 4 months now. Prescribed 3 a day but ended up taking one or two a day as I had stomach cramps.
After the course I had a blood test and my iron etc levels were just touching the low of normal.
After a few weeks off them the dr has asked me to start taking them again. I have been taking them for a week now but have felt pretty crappy.
Today I have had a bad stomach upset and cramps. So I googled the side effects and realised I also get a number of other side effects linked to FS. I am nauseous, light headed, have slightly blurred vision. I am also off my food - which obviously doesn't help when I need to be eating healthily to get more iron!
I put those symptoms down to being anaemic but now I think about it I didn't feel like that between courses of FS.
I will go back to the drs and see if there's anything else I can change to. But in the meantime do I keep on with them hoping my body gets used to them, or stop taking them all together?
Has anyone else had these kind of side effects?
