My ophthalmologist prescribed Preservision AREDS2. The first time I took it I had neurologic side effects (have tremor, tiredness and weakness) and stopped taking it after a couple of days. The second time I tried to take it I took it for several days and all my neurologic problems increased and I felt terrible. I stopped taking it and will not take it again.

I have been taking AREDS since Oct 2022. In Dec 2022 I developed tremors. It took a while to get back to my Dr. who ordered blood work to determine if I had any deficiencies that might cause tremors. I had a high level of folate- 17 was the normal high and my level was 23. After I saw your post I stopped AREDS. The tremors improved but aren’t gone. Also, muscle weakness. I see a neurologist in March.

Thank you for your input on AREDS2.... Such a conundrum! I hope more folks will weigh in as time progresses and we find our own solutions to be the best for each of us.
