to get into my chair, I've been forgetting what day is, and, I've been having trouble with my spelling!! These things have *never* happened to me, before!! Has anyone experienced this, while, on vitamin D-3 Phyllis

Hi Phyllis,
How much D3 did "they" put you on? I found (only) one site that mentions anything remotely close to what you describe: Quote:
http://www.umm.edu/altmed/articles/vitamin-d-000340.htm (scroll down to Possible Interactions:) These sites are just examples, and neither may be comprehensive - don't know. It's also possible that these symptoms are totally unrelated and only coincidental. Doc

I would like to know who is making that website:
vitamindsideeffects.org? I cannot find ANY link on that site to who is providing it. Whois.... shows it is a totally anon owner! http://www.networksolutions.com/whoi...ideeffects.org Until I know WHO is behind it, I cannot recommend it.

The quote wasn't intended as any kind of endorsement. I was curious if Phyllis' S/E were known, so I briefly perused some sites, and like I said, that was the only site I saw that listed anything remotely similar. In fact, until your comment, I missed that D was part of the URL (thought it was about all vitamins in general). It does seem odd that someone would have a bug about that particular vitamin so big they'd register a dot org about its S/E. I can only speculate.
Personally, I'm skeptable that D3 is responsible (especially at the 1000 IU dose she's taking) for Phyllis' S/E, but as most sites disclaim comprehensiveness, I don't know enough about it to rule it out. Doc

I was just wondering about that site, because of the wording on some of the pages.
I prefer the sites with medical consultants. I noticed most of the wording on the "side effects" page were for "overdosing". It is very unlikely to have "side effects" from Vit D supplementation. And the D given by doctors, the D2, is not useful for much either. Her 1,000 IU is very conservative. I take 10 times that dose during the winter, daily.

Are you asking, whether, this is my thread? If so, yes, it is

Hi: I'm a pharmacist and I've never found anywhere reputable that says that D3 causes symptoms you describe, especially not at just 1000 Units/day. That's really low. Even the new guidelines call for 2000 u/day, although I take 8000 u/day. Many of us were shocked at how low the new guidelines were, considering the wealth of data that supports 5000 u/day or more.
I think as Doc suggested that it's coincidental. Stacy |
