Can vitamin D3 cause severe depression?

I am in the same situation as you and the girl in the last comment. I’m not sure why it is happening, but I am just hoping to feel like myself again soon.

I am responding to this question because I had a similar experience with vitamin D3. Since I was seriously low in Vitamin D according to my lab/blood work, I started taking 1,000 IU vitamin D3. Both times I became seriously depressed after taking this supplement, where I could not even function and would break down crying for no reason... Once off this supplement, I eventually went back to being my normal happy self.

My new doctor suggested I try a different brand of vitamin D3, so I did... Unfortunately the same thing happened... and again, once off the supplement, I eventually went back to feeling much like my normal happy self again.

I am so confused because everything I read says Vitamin D3 is suppose to make you feel happier … not depressed... But it has the opposite effect on me. Why is this?

Hi; shylog1 , I've been taking 4000 units of D3 or 3000 units of D2 for 6 months [don't know the difference between D2 and D3, do you?] and other than Hydro., I take the same drugs you do. No bad taste, no depression , but as they say, everybody's different. I'd check with a Dr. though, the taste sounds wierd. Sacosam
