Anyone getting the injections? What side effects are you experiencing?

I've had 3 and with all the first 3 days afterward I feel like I'm on an amphetemine. Can't sleep, can't slow down. On the 4th day I begin to slow and by the 5th I crash. The onc nurse said it has affected my ferritin level which I'm trying to correct with Niforex. Not to mention the injection costs $2400!

Does anyone know of an alternative to help with getting hemoglobin back to normal that is gentler and less expensive?
