For Vitamin/Mineral Supplementation and Deficiency "My old aunt swore by the recommended PreserVision after a year ago of cataract surgery. Great improvement in her experience. I did not have the same experience. After two days of 4 tablets, I experienced an awful headache behind my right eye. I never get headaches, but I am 55 and thought, hmmm, it couldn’t hurt to take them. Then after a couple of weeks of on and off right eye headaches, it dawned on me, perhaps it was the new supplement. I stopped taking them to see, and sure enough, no more headaches. Everyone seems to have different reactions. Good luck!"

For Vitamin/Mineral Supplementation and Deficiency "Every time I take Centrum Silver, I get a severe frontal headache and nausea. I never connected these symptoms to a vitamin, but noticed that I forgot to take it for a couple of days and I was symptom-free. I am interested in the ingredients that might be causing the flare-up."

For Vitamin/Mineral Supplementation and Deficiency "Dr. said I needed cataract surgery. So, I decided to have the surgery on both eyes. During my first visit, for the pre-op eye exam, the optometrist recommended AREDS 2. I've been on the AREDS for 18 months and have just come into some unstable blood pressure readings. [I take no BP meds]. I mistakenly was only taking 1 tab a day. Started on 2 recently. [Up until I started the 2 tab dosage, I had no BP abnormalities.] Seeing these comments from others, I have linked the stomach pain, diarrhea, constipation, blurred vision, headaches, upset stomach I am experiencing to this drug. My situation may be unique in that I take an over 50 multivitamin, 5000u D3, 99mg potassium, glucosamine/chondroitin. Vitamin overload? My daughter, a RN, has warned me about excessive potassium. Can cause heart issues. I am discontinuing the AREDS. HTH,"

For Vitamin/Mineral Supplementation and Deficiency "I took these vitamins for about a week and experienced ongoing dizziness. Since I bought two bottles, I tried to take them again and was unsuccessful, more dizziness. I switched to Walmart brand, and there has been no dizziness, however, sometimes I get headaches, fatigue, and have gained some weight after taking them for about a year. Then I decided that because the AREDS2 study mentioned that the body only absorbs 25 mg of zinc from these daily pills, I purchased another brand that sells its formula exactly as the PreserVision one except for the zinc, only 25 mg per day. Feeling much better. Also, need to watch my sugar intake, it seems to be much worse since I’ve been taking these vitamins."

For Vitamin/Mineral Supplementation and Deficiency "Bought a bottle of Ocuvite Adult+ Vit. & Min. Supplement at our drug store on July 28, 2022. Expiry date was okay: 2023-08. I took one gel cap around 10 pm. I woke up with a horrible headache. Pounding, stabbing, and my head felt swollen as if it was going to explode. I am totally healthy... took no other meds... don't get headaches normally. The drug store won't take the pills back, and there's a 1-800 number on the package for Bausch+Lomb, which I could call to get a refund! It's July 29 noon now, and the headache is gone, but my head is still buzzing and my balance is off. I hope they take it off the market!!!"

For Vitamin/Mineral Supplementation and Deficiency "After reading through these accounts of AREDS 2 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 AREDS 2 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 AREDS 2. Before switching to the new AREDS 2, I was using AREDS with lutein, which had stabilized my macular degeneration without any complications."

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 a headache. It was so bad that I wanted to go to the emergency room but 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."

For Vitamin/Mineral Supplementation and Deficiency "I had been taking it for seven months and noticed issues with my eyes: more blurry vision and ghosting when looking at white text on a dark background on my phone, like when checking the weather app. My eyes seem tired and felt funny. Then I got a floater for the first time. That’s when I found this forum and started reading about other side effects: constipation. Yep. Headaches. Yep. I also started having a floating feeling in my head. It all sent me to the doctor to rule out causes. I’ve stopped taking this and have started feeling better. Anyone experience the ghosting? That’s the one thing I didn’t read here."
