Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) "D3 was prescribed as over the counter at 2k per day. I feel it would be more effective at 5k per day or more. Will check with next blood test. Did not notice a difference. Exhaustion is a real issue with me, partly due to the need for opioids; chronic pain from a surgical accident."

"My doctor prescribed me 40,000 units a week. I have been taking for just over a week and have no side effects listed however, severe nightmares. I used to suffer from night terrors as a child (whilst taking Vit D supplements) however, as I got older and I got a bit too busy and wasn’t taking much care of my health, the night terrors stopped; as well as the supplements. Could this just be a coincidence? Potentially however, something to note."

"So I was prescribed 40,000 units of colcalciferol a week I took these for 3 weeks I thought I was going insane having panic attacks weird feeling in my hands and feet like I couldn't walk had too lie down and had no energy severe dizziness as if I was going to pass out and heart palpitations . I went to A&E twice but they said no this couldn't be the vitamins. Funny how I've stopped them for 4 weeks and everything's gone, still feel funny too this day how long until they are fully out of my system. I feel like there's no end I would rather have my deficiency back than feel like I'm dying"

D3 (cholecalciferol) "Wanted to reduce chance of catching covid. Been seeing multiple articles about covid patients are all or almost all deficient in vitamin d. I am obese, have high blood pressure, and very bad lungs 60 yrs old. Started having palpitations first day but didn't make the connection. Took for 3rd and last time today. Still with the palpitations."

"I started taking Vitamin D3 along with Omega-3 a few years ago. The combination of the two really helped my physical energy and brought my blood pressure down from 150-160 systolic, 100-110 diastolic, to 102-125 systolic and 75-85 diastolic. I also lost 75 lbs with little effort. Vitamin D is a great supplement."

Decara (cholecalciferol) "Decara was very helpful in improving my Vit D levels. I prefer this product over Drisdol, as Decara is actually high quality D3. (Drisdol is D2.) This has been much more effective for me. I highly recommend you ask your doctor about this product if your trying to improve low Vitamin D levels. It worked very well for me."

"I was told to take Vitamin D for a deficiency. Started 2500iu per day. Realised within a week my heart was pounding and decided to check my blood pressure. Was shocked to see it was at 165/90. Usual is 120-80 to 130/80. I exercise daily, eat sensibly and not overweight. Am stopping Vitamin D immediately as have read that some people react badly to it. We’re all different so why do doctors insist that supplements cannot cause these types of issues? I have also reacted badly to K2 in the past and no longer take it."

"I have been diagnosed with hyperthyroidism. I suffered from insomnia, night sweats, irritability, mood swings, chills, gastro issues (gas, acid reflux) heart palpitations and fatigue. Labs showed a Vitamin D deficiency. Doc started me on D3 4,000 iu daily (CVS brand of D3 50 mcg 2,000 iu twice per day. I feel much better! I sleep through the night and I'm not as irritable and moody each day. I feel happier and more energetic with less cravings for sugars and carbohydrates. I still feel heart palpitations, but they've decreased since quitting caffeine and getting serious about reducing stress. Diet changes include eliminating caffeine (including NSAIDS), reducing sugar, and eliminating dairy. I think the hormones in dairy contribute to my hormonal imbalance and my body was desperately trying to compensate (biggest indicator was adult acne disappearing and reduced growth of random facial hairs). Taking D3 for the last 2 months along with dietary changes has greatly improved symptoms."

"On 3rd dose, heart was palpitating like engine on full throttle. It was too scary. It started at approx. 11:30 and got normal by 23:00. I was alone I had no clue what to do, kept drinking little water on small intervals. Complete no for this one or calcirol for vitamin D. Now I can't imagine to take any drug for D."

Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) "When taking high doses of Vitamin D3, it is important to also take K2-7 and Magnesium. K2-7 helps to reabsorb calcium back into the bones and out of the blood."

"I took this drug for almost 2 years and then my doctor took me off of it when I lost my job, because I knew I wasn't going to have enough money to for it."
