Iron overdose
I’m 90lbs and I’ve accidentally had 360mg of iron a few hours ago. I have non-epileptic seizures and went to go take my normal medicines and while I was taking my normal meds I got into my pre seizure state where I don’t really know what I’m doing and took the pills. It was a new bottle so that’s the only way I know how much I took. I never take iron though if that’s important
