In reply to Update: 2 months into current vitamin D trial, posted by Tomatheus on April 3, 2014, at 13:29:35
Hello again my fellow babblers,
It's now been three months since I started my current trial with vitamin D3. I'm still taking the 2,800 IU of the vitamin that I was taking as of my last post here. I've tried a few supplements on top of my vitamin D3 (including the bacopa that I was taking as of a month ago), mostly without success. Right now, I'm taking 250 mg of ascorbic acid (vitamin C) daily alongside my vitamin D3, Abilify, and niacin. The vitamin C may be helping with my concentration, which my vitamin D3 hasn't been helping much with as of late, but then again, I've only been taking vitamin C for three days now.
So, how have I been doing on vitamin D3 this past month, you may be wondering? I can definitely say that I seem to be noticing something that I wasn't noticing before I started taking vitamin D3, and that's been the case for most of this past month. Mainly, my energy seems to be a little better. My hypersomnia seemed like it was being helped, but now with me averaging around nine hours of sleep as of late, it seems like my hypersomnia is being helped to a bit of a lesser extent than it was being helped earlier in the month. My concentration mainly hasn't been very good, although I will say that for the most part it's been better than how it was before I started taking vitamin D3. So, all in all, I would say that it seems like my energy, concentration, and sleep issues seem to be mildly improved over how they were before I started taking vitamin D3. Even though I wish that I were doing even better than how I'm doing right now, I think that the fact that I'm noticing some kind of response is reason to be encouraged and hopeful. Perhaps I'll be doing even better in another month.
Until then, take good care of yourselves, fellow babblers, and be well.
