Vitamins and I feel nauseous???????

[PowerPrincess]

Question ladies.

I just recently started taking a mutli vitamin, b-12 (500mcg) and Iron (65mg) because I've been having severe exhaustion problems, sleeping about 12-15 hours a day and still feeling exhausted - the problem however, i feel great and more energized since i started taking them, but the downside - i feel so nauseous every time i take the vitamins - about 5-10 min later.
why is this???????????????????

If you haven't been taking them long, then I wouldn't be too woried. Are you taking them w/a meal?

PP have you had a blood panel done lately?? thyroid????

It's probably the B vitamins, they make me nauseous as hell, too. I was told the nausea is due to the pH of the stomach changing?

Try eating something small with them if you're not already, this helps to cut down on the nausea for me.

Iron pills can upset your stomach and make you constipated - try taking your pills half hour after breakfast. You may find that you will do better with a different brand of iron pills.

Did you decide on your own to take this combo of vitamins or did a doctor or the like do it for you?

Vitamins make my husband nautious, especially in the morning before a solid meal. You can try taking them with or after breakfast and if that doesn't help, try taking them right before you go to bed. When I was pregnant I took my vitamins (a multi and an iron sup.) before bed and that solved the nausia problem for me.

Definately take them at night. I can't take my vitamins io nthe morning, even with food, or I get nauseated. I have no problems at night though.

No, i haven't had blood work taken lately - what would that indicate and i dont have a thyroid prob i think based on blood work a year or so ago.

I did try to donate blood and they told me my iron count was too low to even donate.

Well I decided on my own to take them after asking a pharmacist and some staff at the vitamin stores.

I know that about 5 years ago i was diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome and i know that my iron count is low and to top it off i take zoloft - which i've been told has a side effect of causing exhaustion....so with all that - i've yearning for anything to get me going. I've been off fatburners for over a year - i was pumped with energy when on them - but once i came off - i could barely pick up my head for the first month or two.

I was more concerned with your fatigue issue....iron supplementing can become toxic and begin to give suchs signs as you are describing...was wondering why you are wanting to sleep so much???? your not PG are you???

 

[smoknjilly]

i have a VERY sensitive stomach...get nauseous from almost any kind of pill

this is what I do - I eat a few bites, take the pill, then eat the rest of whatever I was eating....and make sure it is something solid!!!

Defintely not pregnant, the iron i started taking b/c i am soo tired. Why do i want to sleep so much - not really wanting to, just seem to not be able to get up or function if i dont have like 9+ hours of sleep

PP sorry I lost this thread and did not get back to you...you might want to think about getting thyroid checked again....tho, the Zoloft is giving conflicting symptoms...being on thermos for so long, will have an affect on your metabolism...I dont want to get carried away here, as Iam not an expert in this field...but have done thermos for over a year straight...it took me 10 days to detox and get my vision back...I had to sup T4 for about 3wks...and then go to thyroid support....I have been off now for 1 year...very dramatic behavior changes and sense of well-being is very good...now that I know what a difference there is, I would be very cautious about ever doing them again...still now tho, I have a very difficult time gaining any weight...and my appetite is way down...

I have been feeling a little nauseous to as of late.I resently started taking my birth control pills again after have my second child. They are the same pill I took before but if I missed one I would just have to skip it because I would be sick and vomitting all day the next day. I was told that maybe they were not strong enough Cause I start being a lady( my period )two weeks before I was supose to, and that is a sign that maybe they are to weak. Can anyone relate?
