Oh My God...Are You Kidding Me?!?!

Yesterday when released from the Hospital, I was given a Script for "Pre-natal Vitamins" (chewable) So my Son dropped off the Script for me, then called me and said, they had to order them, and they would have them in the Morning, no problem. So I call CVS this Morning, asked if they had my Script, "yes we do you can come anytime to pick it up" Great. So I go pick it up, come home open it, and Chew away...Holy Mother of God!!! They gave me the Wrong Ones!!! Not the Chewables...Do you have any idea what these things taste like? Well let me tell you, they taste like Old Rotten Dead Fish...So now I have this taste in my mouth, nose, every time I Burp, there it is!!! Well I wasn't Puking to bad before this, but I'm Puking at a pretty good clip now. And the taste isn't going away! Probably some intern at CVS filled it. I called and just Snapped on the Pharmacist. I mean he was very apologetic, but the fact remains the same, I got the Wrong S!#T, and my Breath smells like a Bag of Old Fish Scales!!!

HACK!

Lemons. That's the trick for fish.

I see you are in St. Pete. I'm close but going to Denver. My insurance wouldn't pay.

Best to you. Keep us posted on your progress.

Sorry, but that made me laugh REALLY LOUD.

I feel your pain. I buy liquid Vitamins from costco and I am no wimp, but this stuff tastes like LIQUID ROTTEN FISH.

I just about gag at every swallow. But it is a necessary evil and I'll stop laughing now and give you a hug. ((()))

And congrats on your surgery.

OH MY FREAKIN' WORD! That is SOO nasty!!:P

But of course I'm laughing my a$$ off too! :guess

On a serious note, it's a good thing it was just vitamins they screwed up on. Glad you're ok...

You poor poor man...

Hello...just call me brooksie or reggie. I use a good Vitamin Centrum Senior CHEWABLES...taste GOOD... You should contact your doctor and see if they can recommend an over-the counter. If you have any concerns about them being full of real Vitamins they have been tested before and approved by ConsumerLab.com

Ewwww, that must have been seriously nasty. Personally, I find the Flintstones chewables work good for me.

welcome to OUR worl....haha LOL

welcome to OUR world....haha LOL
have to add more words for them to send.... weird...

Oh my goodness Rockn4u....you had a bad experience that's for sure. I too prefer the Viactiv Multiple Vitamins...they are like chocolate caramels...(my last purchase which was yesterday I opted to try Chocolate Cherry flavor woo-hoooooo)and they leave no after taste. But like Jack said...when you begin burning fat look out for ketosis which is your body's way of alerting you that "It's workin' Baby" by sending you a horrible taste in your mouth.

Good luck and take your vitamins darlin', whatever choice you make! Dreamer

ur great!!!!:clap2:

Obviously there is FISH OIL in your vitamins!! (for the Omega 3's).... generally fish oil is tres nasty. I got some liquid vitamins at Sam's...quite good. If you want to take fish oil (which is very good for you) order Coromega online. No fishy aftertaste! :) Tastes like orange sherbert. I wouldn't steer you wrong. Honest Injun.

Poor you!!! Try drinking some green tea or lemon herbal infusion to wash away that nasty taste from your mouth.

Centrum chewable are pretty ok.
