In reply to FYI- too much vitamin d worsened my depression, posted by alchemy on September 12, 2015, at 23:03:20
Alchemy,
I'm sorry to hear that you noticed a worsening of your depression from taking too much vitamin D. The possibility that one's symptoms may worsen from treatments that are intended to reduce the severity of depressive symptoms is something that I think that individuals undergoing treatment for depression ought to be aware of, and I think that your comment brings some needed attention to the possibility that even alternative treatments for depression can worsen the symptoms. In my own trials with vitamin D3, I too noticed a worsening of symptoms when I pushed my dose to 4,000 IU. The symptoms became less severe again when I reduced my dose to 3,600 IU. As an aside, I'm currently taking 1,200 IU of vitamin D3 as part of my treatment regimen.
If you don't mind me asking, Alchemy, how much vitamin D was too much for you?
