Is it the vitamins?

I have just started Atkins on Monday. Last night I took a multivitamin. Within about two hours I felt lousy, I had a headache, severe diarrea, and my blood pressure shot up from it's normal 128/79 to 160/110. Could this have been from the vitamins? I'm going to try another again tonight but I'm a little afraid to.

With food?

That sounds like an extreme reaction to a vitamin; wonder what else you ate that day? Make sure to take most vitamins with food. But also look at what else may be in the pill--filler, etc.

I once took zinc to prevent a cold. I "o'd" on it according to the doctor. I had diarrhea, sweats, and high blood pressure. The ER doc didn't let me go until the blood pressure went down and I didn't fee like vomiting. Was there a high zinc content in your vitamin?
