oh, i got this one (as an anemic.. yay?). info inside.

so the cheapest pills are the little green ones that you're supposed to take on an empty stomach. that absolutely makes me sick. if you take it with vitamin C, it's supposed to help with absorption and it does feel a lot better.

it's also okay to take with a bit of protein - so maybe do a protein bar, but avoid anything with calcium as that can inhibit absorption.

some people take it right before bed to try and sleep through the feelings (they generally don't wake yo up, but ymmv)

i've tried the readily available "easy iron", but it's a different compound and my blood work shows it's not as effective as the concentrated stuff.

the other option is Slow Fe. it's expensive, but for being able to feel okay, it's not a huge expense.

i feel this.. it's hard.. you feel so much better with the extra iron, but it also makes you feel like crap.
