If you do not get a blood level tested, I would do 2000IU
daily. I use a liquigel form of D3 from NOW company.
example:

You can see they are very inexpensive.
Some manufacturers say capsules, others say softgels.
Either is better than tablets IMO. I believe the absorption is better with the capsules forms.
I've been doing 2000IU for a year now (up from 1000IU) and
feel much better. I haven't needed my light visor (for depression yet--and I started it in Oct last year).
There are studies showing now, that up to 10,000 IU of D3 is safe in normal people. But I don't feel comfortable recommending that without a blood test.
Some people are starting to do 4000IU daily. But because I get a ton of sun in the summers, I didn't feel it was necessary for me.
Vit D is turning up very valuable for many health issues, including chronic pain.
