Side effects of supplements... - Vitamins & Supplements Message Board

I take the following:

Fish oil 1000mg 2 times a day
Calcium/Magnesium 333/133mg twice a day
B50 a day
Vit C 1000mg a day

Can you please tell me what side effects could come from these? Since I have started taking these, I really have not felt any better (about 3 months). It has relieved some PVCs...but I was hoping to gain some energy and a sense of just feeling better. These havent occured. Any advice? Also, even if I take them after eating, I will sometimes get quite nauseated. Not sure which ones are causing the nausea. I also get gas pains.

I take Klonopin .50mg a day and ativan .25mg as needed and 120mg of propranolol as well.

Vitamin C is quite acidic and could be giving you the stomach ache. I take Esther C which is the low acidic form of Vitamin C.

Personally if I took that much fish oil I'd be in the ER. That gives me bad gas and nausea to the point of barfing. Kari is right about the Vita C. Ester-C only for me too! I take 4000 mg per day with no problems even with a terribly sensitive gut.

Wow...that is even less than the recommended dose! They suggest 3 1000mg pills a day and I only take 2.
