Vitamin D ....help!

Posted , 2 users are following.

hi everyone

I've been prescribed 20,000 iu vitamin D twice a week becsuse my level is low at 28. I took the first one on 13.10 and the second on 19.10 but none since- i hzve experienced awful tight muscles, worse anxiety, feeling like death warmed up in the mornings. saw GP today he said stop them and we will review in a week- probably on 800mg a week for longer.

anyone else had awful symptoms. I have really struggled fir these two weeks while I've taken just 2 tablets.

    I did not.

    I started taking it last december. But I did not do the weekly high dose. I was told to take 2000iu daily but make sure it is D3 and NOT D2

    What I was not told was to take K2 and magnesium also. Luckily I was already taking magnesium but not the \k2

    I am having my blood work checked next week, and am going to ask my gp about the k2

    Maybe the amounts you are taking are just to much at one dose.
