Question if my Vitamins and minerals are safe for daily use?

Hi all, I have recently started taking some vitamins and minerals as I have read online they are beneficial. I also am exercising and maintaining a balanced eating diet. 

I have:

- Zinc 15mg

- Vitamin D 12.5-25pg

- Cod liver oil 1000mg

I am just asking because I feel pretty dizzy after having the Zinc and have a metallic taste in my mouth. I am probably just being over critical because of my Anxiety, but just wanted to check with someone who hopefully has more knowledge than me regarding this. 

I am also on 20mg Fluoxetine at the moment, but I doubt that should matter. Thanks!

    Hi there,

    Ages ago when I got zinc from the health food shop, i was told To take them at night as they can make you feel dizzy/nauseous.

    Hope that helps

    You should ask your doctor for advice and beware of unregulated supplements.
