low vitamin d long recovery

In December my quads muscles became really weak and just felt really weird.Than my stomach started to hurt and i was hit with anxiety/depression which i never had in my life i went to doctor they said it was possibly IBS and wanted to give me anti-depression pills which i took for 3 days made me even sicker.So i roughed it out as good as i could and read about LOW VITAMIN D so i asked doctor to check it and BINGO low my number was a 11 .I started taking 50,000iu in april and by june i finished meds and stopped taking them i must have been feeling good to stop.And in August my levels fell again and i started to feel crappy again so here i am again on 50,000iu once a week and 2,000 a day ,and i am feeling a lot better than before but still not 100% i feel like I'm having more good days now than bad days  so ill keep up with meds and wait for this journey to finish....Question how long does it take to fully recover and do you have to stay on vitamin d your whole life so you don't keep dropping ?

You may also want to consider TMJ could be causing problems. I grind my teeth and may be the reason I get dizzy.

I have heard people say it can take 6 month to a yr to recover. You may have to take pills for ever but that's not the end of the world :)
