Dealing with Vitamin D Deficiency: Need Advice

I just got diagnosed as vitamin D deficient today. My levels were at a 6. My doctor prescribed me 50,000 units of vitamin d once weekly. What are other people’s experiences with taking this high of dose?

Hi i got diagnosed with vitamin d deficiency this week since my level was at a 14 and i feel so horrible. I'm curious were you experiencing dizziness, fatigue/exhausting all the time? Because i have that plus major headaches and spotty vision and I'm getting an MRI soon for that.

I'm on that exact dose! I haven't noticed anything different, the deficiency itself makes me insanely dizzy. I don't know what I even felt like before this.

Me too, it works well for me. I think it just differs per person. I’ve been doing for over a year and it keeps my levels normal.

Hello! I’ve been taking this for almost a year now, I do feel a bit of a change. Although truthfully I am not as consistent as I should be, so when I miss a day of taking the weekly medication it feels like a withdrawal and I get really bad dizzy spells. That’s a “my bad” though! Lol
