I have had 3 days of reactions to Lutein and Z…I was deeply fatigued on day one. The next morning I woke up with disabling vertigo. This is day 3 and I am still too dizzy to drive or work. I have a migraine disorder, fibromyalgia, other autoimmune disorders as well. It’s been a long time, however, since I’ve had one this bad lasting days. I would like to take the components of lutein. I wonder if juicing carrots and other beta carotene rich veggies would help. How would it compare? Has anyone had this reaction?

I took my first dose of AREDS2 and experienced vertigo as well, the next morning. The evening of my first dose I felt like I was coming down with a fever. Chills but no fever but did have a lot of trouble sleeping, strange dreams. It was the only addition to my regular drug regimen. I’ll contact my ophthalmologist to discuss another option.

Have you had blood work done? I had inexplicable low sodium that led to extreme fatigue and loss of appetite.
