At first i felt v healthy and my restless leg syndrome disappeard too but Lately i feel fatigued more and v dizzy most of the time. Could i be overdosing?
you should take vitamin B COMPLEX in standard dose.donot take extra vitamins without consulting your doctor as it has major side effects too fatigue and dizziness are the symptoms of anaemia i advise you to recheck your iron profile and if found low,then take iron supplements cautiously after consulting your doctor improve your diet.add green leafy vegetables and fresh fruits to your diet deworm and also add milk and calcium supplements after consulting your doctor
