> I took D3 800ui chewable last night and hours later I had trouble sleeping. Mood appeared similar but I peaked about 5 hours later. Though Omega 3 1000mg 7:1 epa:dha, Resveratrol 225mg, and gabapentin + val + rit likely played a role. Insomnia was the only very noticable clear distinction I could make contributed to D3. Possibly more alertness.
Alex,
Thank you for letting me know about the problem that you had with insomnia that seems to be connected to taking vitamin D3. I'm sorry to hear about it. I can see how vitamin D3 might cause insomnia, because it's actually been effective at relieving my hypersomnia -- at least so far. Then again, I've taken countless supplements in the past that have helped to relieve my hypersomnia temporarily only to become ineffective after some time, so I can't say for sure that the D3 will keep exerting the same effect. At any rate, I think it's too bad that the only clear effect that the vitamin D3 you took seemed to have on you was producing insomnia. Vitamin D3, like most potential treatments, doesn't seem to be for everybody.
I hope that the rest of the treatments that you're utilizing are serving you well. I know that this board doesn't get as much traffic as it used to, but if you have any questions about any other treatments that you're considering trying, I'd recommend asking about it here. I think that there are at least a few of us on the board who will respond if we feel that we have the answers to your questions.
