Question about vitamins?

Would there be any reason why one would feel tired when just starting to take a general one a day type vitamin? Sapping your energy???? Side effect??? Conflict with other condition, deficiency???

Well I had to go look this one up Gretchen....all I can really find is that talking to your pharmacist/doctor is your best bet. Also take into consideration if you are taking other drugs/medications (ie. perhaps your allergy stuff?)

What vitamin are you taking? you may not be taking the right one. Or you r body isnt absoring all of it. Soak you vitamin in vinger for a couple of minutes. if it isnt dissolved then your body isnt absobing all of it. Also how much iron is in it?

I would talk to your doctor or pharmacist Gretchen, I've not seen a lot of info on having fatigue as a side effect of a multi-vitamin, so I would double check to see if it could be anything else!
