Hi I have been given iron tablets as I have low iron and low blood pressure . I am on venlafaxine for depression , I exercise (road bike), I am tired irritable and angry and my motivation is low. I want to come off the antidepressants I know now is not the right time, do you think it is all tied in with the low blood/iron - I have quite suicidal of late. I eat healthy, fresh meat, vegies, fruit. all meals are prepared fresh no frozen meals bought. When I went to my Dr I ended up coming out more anxious than I went in, so didn t even talk how I was feeling. Im in process of finding new Dr Thanks
Hi there!you have not mentioned the dose of Venlafaxine and also not mentioned since how long you are taking it. Secondly low iron, yes but how much low? Please mention it. Depression and Anemia both can cause symptoms like easy fatiguibility, irritability and low motivation. What matters is what degree of anemia it is? What kind of, is it something related with vitamin B-12 deficiency?please mention the levels of iron, dose and duration of Venlafaxine since you are taking it.it will help to determine the cause and to know if the Chat Doctor. Hope this helps you.
