I think my vitamin made me sick.

I've been taking vitamins for 3 days. I noticed that they have a lot of vitamin A. I'm not dying. But I have a headahe. And a little bit of diareah. I'm going to stop taking them. I know vitamin A is fat soluble. But how long does it take for Vitamin A to leave?

A lot of vitamins have fillers and binders. It may be those that are making you sick. Either way it's a good idea to stop taking them and see how you feel.

@curiosi I've been drinking a lot of water. My head ache isn't bad as it was before. Maybe I should try a different vitamin.

I'm not entirely sure but you should get that checked. Just to be in the safe side

you sould be taking beta carotene not vitamin A . vitamin A is toxic in high doses while beta carotene is not. 😺 you should be taking a vitamin mineral tablet daily. they have plenty of A and other vitamin and minerals in them. 😺

@trackboy it says vitamin A (as blend of palmitate & beta carotene)

@Iamnotacat try not taking it for a bit to see if it goes away. then back on it to be sure it was the A. normally a vitamin mineral tablet has plenty of A and others. 😺
