How many people here take vitamin D and get their levels tested? Anyone ever have any side effects?
I've barely slept in 2 weeks, and at first I went through thinking it was my testosterone too high, low estrogen, high estrogen, b-vitamins, low or high dhea, long covid syndrome, and now have landed at vitamin D. My level is now 78 ng/mL. I've been taking 10k iu for 4 years though. My levels typically are 50's to low 60's so I'm not sure what happened, but I'm guessing this is the culprit now as I've read other reports like this on Reddit. My anxiety has been out of control this whole time too and I've lost 10 pounds in 2 weeks (half I'm sure is just glycogen).
In August my level was 63 and while I didn't sleep great, it was nothing to be concerned with. But now, looking back, it seems if my levels are above 60, anything that stresses me throughout the day like a tough workout, then I won't sleep but a couple hours. Right now, just taking 5k iu yesterday and I slept 1 hour total. Earlier this week when I took 10k iu, I didnt sleep at all. That happened twice. Skipped it a couple days earlier this week and slept fine. I'm taking it only at 7am and always take 450mg Magnesium Citrate. Yesterday I bumped to 600mg.
Anyway, if anyone has any thoughts, please lay it out. Thanks.
