User Reviews for vitamin d

I took 50,000 units once a week for 6 weeks. I felt awful after taking it. I found it raised my blood pressure. My score was 20 when I started taking it. I was tested after 2 months and it raised my score to 24. I won't take such high doses again. I just take 400 units a day and trying to take more without my bp going up.

Thank you for sharing your experience with vit d 50,000..i'm sorry hear what you went through,i can imagine anxiety you felt...did you tell your docter ?.....i keep looking up things on search keeps saying how important it is and i want do right thing i stll didn;t take it...do you know what your number level was ,mine so low ......well i don't know what to do...i hope your feeling better ..can you please post say what you do if it helps ...i feel like my dr demands me take this large dose...

My experience with the 50,000 I.U. Vitamin D was not good. Maybe I have some things that I don't know of going on that caused the problems or an interaction. Exactly 24 hours after I took it (the time it takes to get into your system) I had a terrible choking, smothering sensation in my throat and chest area. I had body aches, and I am still dealing with the stomach pain, reflux, and bloating that this has caused. It also increased my anxiety and nervousness almost to the point of panic. Never again will I take such a high dosage of anything. I will have to resort to another means to get my D levels up.Read More Read Less

Second week on 50,000 MIU once a week for 8 weeks then once every two weeks for 8 weeks so far just nausea and loose stools. Told my Dr. I would rather move where it's sunny.LOL My D level was 8 which is extremely low. 20 is considered very low. It will be tested in 3 months to see if there is any improvement.

I was given 50,000 units for nine weeks. At the end of the time I had joint pains and felt like I was on cloud 9. As the time has gone on I am feeling better. They are telling me that my Vit. D is low but I am afraid to take a large dose like that again. I am going to be my own Dr. and take two reg. a day insted of the large dose again. I felt like I was not functioning normaly. It did not feel good at all.

Terrible joint pain, especially back pain.

I was prescribed 50,000 units twice a week. After 30 days I experienced kidney failure and heart problems. I gained weight and my testicles swelled up.Ended up in the emergency room for 3 days to reduce fluid build up.

can i be allergic to vitamin d i seem to have a rash since i started taking it

I have been taking 50,000IU twice a day for 14 years with no side effects. I take my doses with food always. It is quite effective if you take as directed.

I've been taking 50,000 units once a week for about 6 weeks, and my Vit. D levels are now within normal range after being very low. That's great, but my stomach is starting to be very unhappy with this dosage, with nausea, nasty reflux (I won't ever take it without food again), and loose bowels. I'm beginning to think it's doing more harm than good.

After two 50,000 unit doses in one week, the tiredness I had been experiencing for months markedly improved. However, I have terrible stomach/abdominal pain for an entire day after I take it.

I used to get cramps in my ankles so sevre that I had to get up and walk them out. I was told by a co-worker that her mother takes this for cramps. I have been taking this for over 2 years and I don't get the cramps anymore. I use dosage 1000 IU per day. Try it.

I lost 50-75% of my back pain just a day after taking 50,000 IU of Vitamin D. As I just started this "treatment" I will wait to see wht happens say within a month.
