Estroven (multivitamin with minerals) for Dietary Supplementation "Ok, I've been taking these for a couple of weeks. Within a day or two, I noticed a serious lightening up of the fuzz brain I'd been having, felt more clear. I have had a loss of appetite, but no gain or loss of weight yet. I did have a small episode of itchy hives on my arm and didn't realize the possible connection until I reread the side effects. I also haven't seen a big change in hot flashes yet. So, far getting brain back has out weighed anything negative."

PreserVision AREDS 2 (multivitamin with minerals) for Vitamin/Mineral Supplementation and Deficiency "I have been taking thus medication for about 3 weeks, I like to read and that is getting bad, my vision is blurred making it impossible to do even with my reading glasses which I don't always use. This stuff is junk, it affects my sleep and my daily activities, I am tired all the time,"

PreserVision AREDS 2 (multivitamin with minerals) for Vitamin/Mineral Supplementation and Deficiency "I should have checked before ordering this medication. I took my first dose, yesterday, and within an hour was horribly ill with stomach cramps, severe bloating, nausea and back pain. Somehow, it didn’t occur to me that it was the Preservision. I just took a second day’s dose, twenty minutes ago, and am already feeling sick, again. Googled and found these reviews. I’m so angry. This is ridiculous. This shouldn’t even be on the market or, at the very least, should come with clearly marked warnings. Sitting here, wondering if I should try to bring this dose back up or flush my system with water."

Hemax (multivitamin with minerals) for Vitamin/Mineral Supplementation and Deficiency "Actually, I've been on Hemax for a short period of time, per the recommendation of my OB/GYN, versus me taking 6 pills a day per my primary care physician. I like it so far, the side effects are minimal. Please be sure to read the label, as there were some "don'ts" included that I normally do every morning like drinking coffee, eating eggs, these items should not interact with this pill, and I'm glad I caught that before I started taking it, it's best on an empty stomach. I'm happy to be taking one pill which has everything in it that the 6 had, and has more iron. So, right now I think it pretty good, and hopefully will have a positive effect on my iron levels the next time I have my labs done."

Centrum Silver Women's (multivitamin with minerals) for Vitamin/Mineral Supplementation and Deficiency "I have been experiencing nausea and diarrhea past few days and just realized it’s coinciding with my taking Centrum silver. I’ve never had issue with other multivitamins. I will stop taking as it has not ceased even though what I’m reading says symptoms should subside after a few days. It’s not worth it"

PreserVision AREDS 2 (multivitamin with minerals) for Vitamin/Mineral Supplementation and Deficiency "I started taking Preservision 2 weeks ago. After taking one pill in the morning and one in the evening I became very nauseous. Took recommended dosage for 2 more days and still became very nauseous. I have Glaucoma and was hoping this would help. Also, my vision has become blurry, my left eye is sensitive to light, and I had muscle weakness, hot flashes, and night sweats. This stuff is horrible. I have stopped taking it but still have some nausea. Hopefully, it will be better soon. FDA needs to inspect the ingredients or how it's made!"

PreserVision AREDS 2 (multivitamin with minerals) for Vitamin/Mineral Supplementation and Deficiency "I have wet macular degeneration in one eye. Have been taking Eyelea injections every 6 weeks for two years. In the last six months taking 2 Preservision Areds 2 capsules each day the most annoying symptom is severe constipation which I have rarely had in the past. My retina specialist recommended these and I have regularly taken them. I’m interested in another compound which would be effective."

PreserVision AREDS 2 (multivitamin with minerals) for Vitamin/Mineral Supplementation and Deficiency "I took one after eating and had bad stomach ache. I tried again the next morning became very nauseous and tired and had projectile vomiting and slept all afternoon. Not a good vitamin for me. My husband takes it and has no problems! Go figure!"

PreserVision AREDS 2 (multivitamin with minerals) for Vitamin/Mineral Supplementation and Deficiency "Diagnosed very young for age related MD- I’ve been on AREDS for years with very little progression of this disease Bc I have taken AREDS- I can only tolerate one per day and yet it held my MD from getting worse/it has gotten better! I’m 61 now- I thought I’d be blind! It does make me sick sometimes and it’s awful but I’d rather be sick sometimes than blind. I’m grateful even when I’m terribly sick."

PreserVision AREDS 2 (multivitamin with minerals) for Vitamin/Mineral Supplementation and Deficiency "My eye doctor recommended that I start taking this supplement after he discovered that I have the beginnings of glaucoma. I would take one in the morning and one at night. Within a short amount of time I experienced a very sore feeling in my stomach with a lot of belching and horrible persistent gas. I thought it was due to a new coffee that I was trying. I have been diagnosed with gastritis and a bilateral hiatal hernia in the past so I have to be careful of what I consume. I initially did not think that Areds 2 was the culprit. I changed coffee and stopped taking all of my supplements and quickly I felt so much better. I decided to slowly start reintroducing my supplements back in. And then it occurred to me that I should look up the side effects of Areds 2. Boy am I glad that I did! I found all of these reviews and I was astonished. I felt that I needed to contribute my experience as well."

PreserVision AREDS 2 (multivitamin with minerals) for Vitamin/Mineral Supplementation and Deficiency "I have been taking PreserVision AREDS 2 on recommendation from my retina specialist. The gel capsules make me very nauseated even when taken with food. I am stopping them temporarily. The chewable formula was better."

PreserVision AREDS 2 (multivitamin with minerals) for Vitamin/Mineral Supplementation and Deficiency "I started taking Areds2 many years before my diagnosis of AMD. My dad took them for his AMD so I was genetically in the high-risk category and figured I'd get a "leg up." I've been taking them for probably 8 years with no problem and that (and, I'm convinced, my daily dose of blueberries - doctor approved!) has kept my AMD from worsening. Just recently I started getting blurriness in one eye and went to see my specialist to make sure it wasn't a bleed (I have dry MD in both eyes). He said there had been a couple of recent studies about MD and zinc and since I was in the high-risk range he gave me a substitute eye supplement with only 25mg of zinc as opposed to 80. So while I just recently had a problem with it (perhaps) I have to say it's served me really well for a long time."

PreserVision AREDS 2 (multivitamin with minerals) for Vitamin/Mineral Supplementation and Deficiency "This drug gave me the worst constipation I've ever experienced. I drink a pot of coffee every morning and after I have a bowel movement without fail like clockwork. Not on this drug! I took this drug 1 gel capsule per day for 3 weeks before I realized this was the drug causing it. The constipation was so severe, it took two Enemeez in a row and it was the most painful pass of my life. I've been off of the drug for 3 days now and it's getting better, but WOW! Avoid this drug like the plague!"

PreserVision AREDS 2 (multivitamin with minerals) for Vitamin/Mineral Supplementation and Deficiency "I don’t normally write reviews, but I wanted to share a positive experience with AREDS 2 to that my mom and I both had. My mom was first prescribed AREDS 2 by her optometrist after her cataract surgery at the age of 75. She had no issues, or side effects from this vitamin supplement. After her follow up appointment with her eye doctor and the positive benefits it was doing for her eye condition, I also started taking them at the age of 45. I have been taking them now for 8 years and through laser surgery, my doctor was impressed on how fast my eyes healed. I haven’t had any reactions or side effects from this vitamin supplement either, and I believe it has also helped in keeping my eyes moist and from drying out. My review is to say, that AREDS 2 has helped and worked as described benefits for our family, and we have been very fortunate not to of had any of the allergic reaction’s that have been noted and discussed in the previous reviews and warnings."

PreserVision AREDS 2 (multivitamin with minerals) for Vitamin/Mineral Supplementation and Deficiency "After reading through these accounts of Areds2 side effects, I am starting to wonder whether my frequent headaches, occasional bad constipation, dizzy spells, and a recent diagnosis of low blood pressure (90/49) after three months on Areds2 for macular degeneration might be related. It never occurred to me until I read this chat box. I am curious to know if anyone else has experienced a significant drop in their blood pressure due to Areds2. Before switching to the new Areds2, I was using Areds with Lutein, which had stabilized my macular degeneration without any complications."

Estroven (multivitamin with minerals) for Vitamin/Mineral Supplementation and Deficiency "I took Estroven for a month for delayed sleep, painful periods, brain fog, and fatigue. I noticed I started feeling better. I could sleep better, brain fog decreased, energy increased, and periods were less painful with no headaches. I felt I had found the right pill. Only after my periods, I got terrible constipation and headaches. It was so bad that I wanted to go to the emergency room, but I took a stool softener and got some relief. I stopped taking Estroven, but even after a week, the constipation hasn’t gone away completely. I did some research and it turns out Rhodiola Rosea, the main ingredient in Estroven, could change the gut microbiome. It definitely altered my gut microbe, hence the constipation won't subside immediately. I really do like the way I felt on Estroven and hope I can continue using it if I can remediate my constipation."

PreserVision AREDS 2 (multivitamin with minerals) for Vitamin/Mineral Supplementation and Deficiency "I’m 65 and thought this would be good insurance for keeping my eyes healthy. I still have 20/20 vision after seeing the optometrist last month, and thankfully no eyesight problems. However my Mom and I also think my Grandmother were both diagnosed with Macular Degeneration. What a mistake! Less than 30 minutes after taking one of these capsules, I had awful abdominal pains, and felt sick to my stomach! I am just going to throw them away … Not going to risk ruining another afternoon feeling this badly! Surprised that an OTC vitamin like this would cause such serious side effects."

PreserVision AREDS 2 (multivitamin with minerals) for Vitamin/Mineral Supplementation and Deficiency "After about a month of taking AREDS 2, I began getting sudden strong nausea. I reduced to 1 a day and began taking with food but nausea persists. I have to immediately eat rice cakes *after* to get rid of the nausea. They have zinc oxide: "Nausea and vomiting are commonly reported side effects of zinc toxicity.""

PreserVision AREDS 2 (multivitamin with minerals) for Vitamin/Mineral Supplementation and Deficiency "MAcular Degeneration runs in my family but I don’t have it but I bought Areds 2 by Bausch and Lomb. Anyway it makes me sick or ill in my stomach. I also sent it to my 92 year old sister who has MD and it made her ill also. What do you think? Rita"

PreserVision AREDS 2 (multivitamin with minerals) for Vitamin/Mineral Supplementation and Deficiency "I have been taking 2 pills a day for one year. I have had severe muscle weakness and I didn't think it was from the pills until I was reordering online at CVS and I happened to read someone's side effect which mimics mine. I immediately stopped taking them three days ago. I am hoping to regain my muscular strength. I don't advise anyone to take this. Serious side effects."

PreserVision AREDS 2 (multivitamin with minerals) for Vitamin/Mineral Supplementation and Deficiency "I started taking PreserVision on the advice of an optometrist who said she detected AMD in my right eye. I started taking it 4 months back. About 3 weeks back I started noticing that my eyes get tired quickly and my vision getting blurred. It seemed to get worse day by day. I assumed that my AMD was getting worse but does it progress so quickly? Then I read the reviews here and saw other people were getting blurred vision too. I stopped it 3 days back and it seems my blurred vision is improving. Not sure yet. I am meeting a ophthalmologist this week and hope to find out the truth."

PreserVision AREDS 2 (multivitamin with minerals) for Vitamin/Mineral Supplementation and Deficiency "Was told to take 2 a day because of beginning macular degeneration. Immediately had upset stomach, pain in stomach, felt yucky. I’m getting my money back from Costco, and telling my 2 eye doctors & will be looking for something else. I think Preservision needs to know about these complaints & devise a new formula."

PreserVision AREDS 2 (multivitamin with minerals) "I have been taking these for about 12 months. My macular condition is at an early stage, and my optometrist suggested I take PreserVision AREDS 2 to hopefully slow the disease down. I have no side effects from the drug but find the big tablets difficult to swallow. I have just ordered a chewable version which will make it so much easier to take. Only time will tell if they help my macular problem. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a positive outcome."

PreserVision AREDS 2 (multivitamin with minerals) for Vitamin/Mineral Supplementation and Deficiency "I took Areds 2 religiously twice/day probably about 8 years. When zinc became popular for Covid prevention I googled & realized I was getting twice the recommended dose of zinc in Areds. I then saw I had several of the rare side effects of Areds. The only one I can definitely attribute to Areds is breast pain which went away when I stopped taking it. Joint pain, trouble going to sleep, low energy & weak feeling could be age. Retinal dr. was almost rude when I told him and asked about only taking 1/day. Eyes hadn't gotten worse while on it. Haven't had exam since stopping it."
