I was put on high dose D2 (10,000 iu) for two months, but my level barely budged.
Vit. D3 at 5,000 iu for six months brought my level up. Maintenance of 2,000 iu daily of D3 was not enough and my levels dropped again.
I currently take D3 4,000 iu daily with some fatty food (to increase absorption) and need to repeat lab testing.
Everyone is different. An endocrinologist at Mayo Jacksonville told me that he takes 2,000 iu daily and most people need more than the recommended daily allowance.
Dose will depend on sun exposure and genetics and food intake as well as other factors.
