Should I fix my iron deficiency before trying an SSRI?
Post Body
I went to see a psychiatrist and they diagnosed me with depression and OCD. I also went to see my GP and my iron and iron saturation levels are both nonexistent. I'm essentially completed depleted of iron in my body. Oddly enough, I'm technically not anemic (hemoglobin of 13.7).
Should I wait to bump up my iron levels before getting on psych meds? I'm meeting with my doctor today and I'm going to ask him if he can prescribe iron infusions.
