Overdosed on Vitamin D... Help!!

After a recent Vitamin D blood test  , my doctor noticed that I had a severe Vitamin D deficiency (19 ng/dI … optimal 60-80) and prescribed me to take 12,000 IU’s of Vitamin D per day for 3 months and then drop to 4,000 per day.

I ordered a bottle of NSI Vitamin D-3 drops from Vitacost (cheaper than Carlsons and more servings... 900 2,000 IU servings for $9.99).

I consider myself to be a pretty smart fellow :), but in my absent mindedness when I read the serving on the bottle of 1 drop = 2000 IU’s…  I translated it as 1 dropper = 2,000 so I needed to take 5 per day.

The last several days the symptoms I have been experiencing before such as fatigue, irritability have been off the charts. I have also been experiencing a little vertigo, which I have had before so thought maybe my body is just adjusting.

I notice that the bottle was half empty today and then it hit me that maybe it was really just one drop, not dropper.

If there are truly 900 2,000 IU servings in the bottle, then [B]I have ingested about 900,000 IU's (150,000 IU's per day) of Vitamin D-3 over the last 6 days. That is basically about 3 months worth![/B]

I am not sure what to do. I have read a bit on the net of the side effects and possible negative results from a Vitamin D overdose.

Should I just not take anymore Vitamin D for the next 12 weeks and then start again?

Should I take something else to flush my system?

I need some help here.

Please provide any guidance here.

Thanks

I would just stop taking it for now. I would also contact your doctor.

Same advice - talk to the doctor and get it straightened out. A Pharmacist may also be of help.
