viaOne A Day Women's Active Mind and Body
**I usually don't post reviews on products, especially ones that I dislike, but I want to share my thoughts to help prevent anyone from going through what I went through yesterday. **
On my lunch break I stopped by Walgreens to pick-up a few items. I have been trying to be more healthy lately and I figured adding a multivitamin to my diet would be a great addition. After Walgreens, I ate a sub for lunch and then decided to try the vitamin.
As I was heading back to work I began to feel really sick...almost like I had the flu. My mouth started watering like crazy and I felt like I was going to vomit. (Keep in mind that I am still driving, and was freaking out!) I began to gag, but kept drinking water to fight the urge. I obviously did not want to puke all over myself and my steering wheel.
I made it back to work (Praise God!) and starting feeling worse. I was dizzy, nauseous, and had the worst body aches. After looking up the reviews on this product I discovered that I was not the only one with these kinds of side effects. Most women said they had the same exact experience, while others raved about how great the vitamin was.
I don't know what this vitamin has in it to make me feel so bad, but I was sick all night and am only just now starting to feel better. I will never, ever take this again. I've actually heard that multi-vitamins aren't good for you and that taking a dose of vitamin A, C, B5, etc. works the best. Anyone know anything about this? Has anyone taken this particular multivitamin?

That's terrifying! Thanks for the warning! I've been thinking about switching to a multi-vitamin!
Wow, I've taken One-A-Day's before, and I've never had a bad reaction. That's crazy! I've heard multi-vitamins can give you stomach aches, but I haven't heard of flu-like symptoms. That's scary.
I have taken centrum multi vitamins before and have never gotten sick, but I haven't tried the one a day. I'm sorry you got sick girl! That really stinks...
First off, omigosh that sounds HORRIBLE!! :-O The only time I've ever had a problem with multivitimins is when I took one along with my BC pill... all without food-- which CAN make you feel VERY nauseous. I ended up throwing up in the gym :-(
Second off, thanks for stopping by my blog!! I'm your newest follower too, love your page :-) I couldn't email you back because you're "no reply" which means you have no email listed if any of us want to repond back from one of your comments. I always get sad when I want to respond back, but the blogger is "no reply"-- its super easy to change and makes for more fun ;-) Hope you're having a great Friday!!
