Do you take this supplement at night or with meals? When are you supposed to take it?

You should take vitamin d with some sort of fat- any meal is fine. But you should be aware that taking D2 is NOT the recommended form of Vitamin D. Please take a look at the page on Vitamin D3 to see why that is preferred.

You may also be interested in taking a look at this page on Magnesium and Vitamin D to see why it's not the best idea to 'just' take large doses of Vitamin D without taking magnesium to prevent some of the adverse effects that can occur with large doses of Vitamin D.

Overdose on Vitamin D2 is very unlikely if you are taking 50,000 IU's once a week. Even if you took your entire 8 week prescription all at once, overdose would be unlikely. Please take a look at the page on Overdose on Vitamin D to see why this is unlikely. What is more likely is that you are simple experiencing negative side effects from the Vitamin D. This is a separate problem from Vitamin D overdose.

well the doctor told me the same thing but you shouldn't be having pain in your legs etc unless something is causing it. they need to find out what is causing it and explain why you have to take the vitamin D2.i found out my pain was not just pain it is lupus. But I pray yours is not the same. god bless

Hi all, my Vitamin-D is 10 mg/ml as the blood report reads. normal is 25 - 80 mg/ml.

I am starting to take D2 1.25 50000 units weekly for 12 week. I have read all the negative comments, but when someone takes a drug and has no side affects most are not going to come here. No reason to.

When you go to a restaurant and the food and service is great, do you tell the manager. If you have bad food and horrible service you are probably going to talk with the manager or owner. That is our nature.

I will post back after my first dose and give my opinion, positive or negative.

Yeah I take the 50,000 of d2 one capsule weekly because of my low blood levels of vitamin d. It is a normal dose for people with deficiencies ans some other medical problems. I've been on it for many years and it just keeps my levels in a good range.

Yes I was losing weight that I needed to lose, but after taking vitamin D2 1.25 (50,000 units) once a week, it seemed like I was always hungry, wanting something. I have been taking these vitamins for a few months now. No one told me to eat with them. I ran out the last two weeks, and started getting horrible pains in my ankle bones. Like a Charlie horse, but just in my ankles, woke up and couldn't even get up for awhile, till I finally quit hurting!! But I kept getting pain all throughout the day and night. Finally my prescription was picked up this evening and I took one. Going to see if pains continue or stop. Do you know if you have to be slowly taken off this vitamin?
