For Vitamin/Mineral Supplementation and Deficiency "My ophthalmologists recommended I take AREDS 2 for macular degeneration. I have taken the vitamin in the middle of a meal, after a meal, and an hour after eating. I always end up with an upset stomach and at times vomiting, but always nauseated. I suffered through taking this vitamin for close to a year. However, I will not take another one. The ones I have are going into the trash. Plus, I haven't been able to tell that they do any good, and they are expensive."

For Vitamin/Mineral Supplementation and Deficiency "Horrible nausea and severe vomiting with sweating and passing out feeling. Could not figure out why. Then I realized it could be the PreserVision AREDS 2 that I was taking. I stopped taking it and the nausea, vomiting, and dizziness were gone. Never again."

For Vitamin/Mineral Supplementation and Deficiency "I took my first one this morning. Within half an hour, I started to feel sluggish and have stomach cramps. Within an hour, I was vomiting. Awful! I have never been allergic to any medication or had a reaction like this. I only saw that others have had this problem when I came to this site. I can’t leave the bathroom. The rest of the container is going in the trash immediately."

For Vitamin/Mineral Supplementation and Deficiency "Right from the first dose of PreserVision AREDS 2, I became violently stomach sick to the point of vomiting. Full stomach. I tried a few days later. Lather, rinse, repeat. Within 20 minutes, I feel acute nausea and the story ends the same. Horrible experience. I tried a third time... like clockwork... bad ending."

For Vitamin/Mineral Supplementation and Deficiency "I became nauseous within ten minutes of taking these. I experienced severe bloating. I drank water slowly, as well as sparkling water, hoping to tamp down the nausea. I laid down for ten minutes but needed to race to the bathroom with terrible diarrhea, followed by four vomiting episodes a few minutes later. This all came on within 30 minutes of taking these caplets with food and water. Ninety minutes later and I still have stomach aches, bloating, diarrhea. I took two at the same time. That could be the reason I’m so ill, but I will report this to my doctor and never take them again. Whether these are effective, I’ll never know."

For Vitamin/Mineral Supplementation and Deficiency "I took my first dose an hour ago, felt nauseous within 30 minutes and was vomiting ten minutes later. I have vomited five times in the first hour. It was scary because the gel cap and its contents are red, so my first thought was that I was vomiting blood (I wasn’t). Now I am sitting here wondering when this will end and whether or not I should be trying to drink lots of water to flush it out of my system or encourage more vomiting to get it all out. The level of vitamin E is no higher than vitamin E doses that I have taken in the past. It could be the night dose of zinc, or maybe just a reaction to the marigold or other ingredient in their product. I am also wishing I hadn’t bought the 210 count bottle. It’s only 7 pm, but it feels like this is going to be a long night. Hoping the nausea passes soon."

For Vitamin/Mineral Supplementation and Deficiency "I have been taking lutein for years. No problem. These were suggested to me, and I take them after eating. Noticed feeling nauseous after taking. Last 2 days, vomiting after I take them. Thanks for this service because these reviews have confirmed my suspicions. No more for me."

For Vitamin/Mineral Supplementation and Deficiency "I took one after eating and had a bad stomach ache. I tried again the next morning and 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!"

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 it 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.'"

For Vitamin/Mineral Supplementation and Deficiency "From the first dose, I experienced extreme nausea and vomited. From the reviews I see on this site, many others have had similar experiences. I will not continue with AREDS 2 but will search for another drug that could help delay the progress of macular degeneration."

For Vitamin/Mineral Supplementation and Deficiency "Upon taking one tablet of Centrum Silver multimineral/women 50 plus, and within one to two hours, I am experiencing nausea, vomiting, and shortly after (within an hour), diarrhea. It finally subsides after several hours. I am not sure this is worth taking this multivitamin. It may be all the minerals in the vitamin..."

"I also have noticed nausea after taking the AREDS pill, especially on an empty stomach. One time I made the mistake of taking 2 pills at once and ended up vomiting. I thought I had food poisoning, but looking at the other reviews, I realize it was from taking these 2 pills at one time. My mistake."

"My optometrist suggested I take these eye vitamins for AMD that is pretty progressed. I've tried them twice for a year or so the first round and a couple months now. I have finally figured out these are what's making me nauseated and projectile vomit out of nowhere if taken while drinking coffee in the mornings. I also get heartburn which ends up making me projectile vomit out of nowhere if I take the p.m. dose close to bedtime. I started having night sweats and having to wear sunglasses on a cloudy day because of the glare. I'm 65 years old and my mother is 89 and has the exact same side effects from them. I read where the chewable tablets don't have the side effects as the gel cap so I'm going to try them before I give up completely. Stay tuned...."

For Vitamin/Mineral Supplementation and Deficiency "I started taking the recommended dosage of PreserVision AREDS 2 on a Wednesday afternoon for macular degeneration. The following day, I took the morning recommended dosage, followed by the PM dosage. The next day I took the AM dosage. Later this morning, I felt nauseated and took a break from work. An hour later, I suffered from projectile vomiting. I started taking the AREDS 2 again and within 2 days, felt nauseated and had projectile vomiting. I stopped taking AREDS 2 and feel much better."
