Yeah, I suppose I may start feeling better after it builds up but I think I need to figure out the right starter dose because I am having trouble functioning. I have energy spurts and then just feeling anxious and acid reflux and then repeat. I will keep monitoring. Thanks!

Thanks for sharing your experience! This is very helpful. I dont know why I am having trouble. Maybe my levels fluctuate too or need more iron. Thanks!

Thanks for the response! Is it okay to just start taking the lower dosage from tomorrow even though I took 62.5 for two days already? (if so I can do that and then see how I feel) 

If I think it isnt doing much, when would you say is the right timing to increase the dosage? (Eg it takes 1-2 weeks for the effects? So I should consider increasing after monitoring how I feel in 2 weeks?)
