Centrum Silver (multivitamin with minerals) for Vitamin/Mineral Supplementation and Deficiency "I like taking these vitamins. I just can't remember to take the pills every day like if I was taking birth control pills. I haven't had any side effects at all. I take the pills with food just like it's stated on the bottle, and I drink water to wash it down."

Estroven (multivitamin with minerals) "I’ve been taking for 2 years for terrible hot flashes and night sweats. It made a HUGE difference and I thought it was a miracle cure! For the past 6 months, I’ve had persistent low grade fever, severe nausea and abdominal pain as well as elevated liver enzymes and high triglycerides. After ultrasound, CT scan, and MRI it’s been narrowed down to my liver which is enlarged and inflamed. Black cohosh in Estroven can cause all this. I stopped taking it a week ago. So far no change but I’m praying it hasn’t done permanent damage. Please research and use caution if taking this. Look up Drug Induced Liver Injury."

Estroven (multivitamin with minerals) for Dietary Supplementation "Took this drug Estroven and within an hour was so dizzy I had to lie down. I got so bad I couldn’t open my eyes without the room spinning. Could not believe it. Stayed in bed for 6 hours fighting nausea and extreme dizziness. I’ll take the hot flashes to this."

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."

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 was prescibed AREDS2 by Retina Therapist. Said to take any brand. I chose Preservision AREDS2 as heard it was the best. Well after I started taking it the first day felt extremely nauseous, very shaky, diarrhea, blurred vision. I kept taking my 1 in am & 1 in pm with food and did it for 5 days and just became sicker & sicker. It was so bad. So I stopped taking & am having a terrible time getting it out of my system & its been 3 days and still sick. I am staying very hydrated. Saw my eye Dr and he said to stay off it and it should be out of my system in 5 days. This stuff is extremely high in Zinc 40 mgs per capsule so taking 2 you are getting 80 mg of Zinc which is way way too much, esp for me as I only weigh 98 lbs and am a small woman. That’s way way too much Zinc for me. Even 1 capsule of 40 mgs of Zinc is way too much! So I attribute the huge amounts of Zinc for causing me to get so sick. I have read reviews stating Zinc dosage was way too high. Will try one that has only 12.5 mg"

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."

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 "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."

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 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."

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 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 "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."

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 "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 "I have been struggling with abdominal pain and nausea for six months. I have diverticulitis and I thought perhaps it was due to that. I had an ultrasound and a CAT scan done, and everything was normal. I didn’t realize that perhaps it could’ve been the AReds2 that I started taking. After hearing all of the other comments that’s what it was. I am ask my eye doctor, what she recommends and she told me about another vitamin to take. I have just ordered some and I have stopped taking AREDS 2"

PreserVision AREDS 2 (multivitamin with minerals) for Vitamin/Mineral Supplementation and Deficiency "I have used Areds 2 for at least 4 years with little problem but in the last few weeks have had extreme leg pain to the point that walking is difficult. I only take Areds and B/P medication and after talking to my Dr who has never heard of this problem with Areds we changed my B/P meds which did not help. I researched on the computer and found that Areds can cause this problem. I have stopped the use of Areds 2 and after a week my pain is so much better. Have other people had any similar issues. I wish there was better documentation!"

PreserVision AREDS 2 (multivitamin with minerals) "I've taken Preservision 2 for seven years. (2 per day) I give it 0 stars. Since they changed to the smaller caplet, my stomach gets very sick every time I take it. And in spite of taking it faithfully, my right eye has converted to wet macular degeneration. It is impossible to know if it actually helps."

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 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 "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."

PreserVision AREDS 2 (multivitamin with minerals) for Vitamin/Mineral Supplementation and Deficiency "After noticing a decline in vision that I was told is normal for my age I tried a bottle of Preservision once and noticed some blurred vision but no noticeable improvement overall. A couple years later I decided to try again starting with two bottles. (Since I usually do not have bad reactions to supplements and I had taken these previously.) Immediately I noticed mild to severe nausea after every pill. I stopped taking them and tried again a few times taking one a day. Still no improvement in nausea and some blurred vision. I regret purchasing two bottles and will definitely be more careful with supplements in the future."

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.""
