What Calcium Dosage Is Safe For Avoiding Dizziness, Tiredness And Osteopenia Symptoms?

I have a low iron count and several months ago was put on a Prescription dose of iron once a week, I took it for 3 wks & was having great dizziness to where I could not even Drive. I talked with my DR he told me to stop taking it. Since then I've taken nothing. For the past three wks I have been very tired & no matter how much I sleep feel like I can sleep some more. I have Osteopenia & should be taking Calcium also. Is there a safe dose of this Iron I could take that would not cause me dizziness & how should I take it? I no longer have medical Insurance. Thank You
