Iron supplement exhaustion

Long time lurker, first time posting.

It's been about a year since I had my infusion, which did up my numbers. I also freely admit that recently (last 6months or so) I've been horrible at remembering to take my iron supplements. I take it every other day with vitamin c. The last two times I have taken it (mid-afternoon this week, Mon and Wed) I'm in bed at 6pm bc the exhaustion is so bad. I don't remember this happening when I was taking them regularly right after the infusions. Part of me thinks that once I get back in the habit of remembering to take them every other day it will regulate.

Has anyone else experienced exhaustion a few hours after their iron supplement?
