    I was inaware that low iron could cause anxiety and panic? I get very low at "certain times" in the month as a woman, so much so that I actually crave liver and organ meats, etc. and I get stress moreso also even though I do not get PMS but I never put the two together! Iron suppliments effect women and men differently however, so I must stay careful. Maybe Ill see a doctor about this as a cause also. I hope it is your answer being so easy to fix! And thank you for telling us because maybe it will help me too, to try iron.
