    3. Is numbness in one of my legs and heaviness in it symptoms of Vitamin D overdose or side effect
    Is numbness in one of my legs and heaviness in it symptoms of Vitamin D overdose or side effect

    I had 50,000 IU of Vit D every week for 3 weeks as a result of a blood test that showed deficiency in Vitamin D. Now I got this feeling of heaviness in my right leg ( I am dragging it) and can't bend my toes.I stopped taking the Vitamin. Is there anything I can do to reverse this feeling?

      Who told you to take this much Vit. D? The normal Dose is 600-800 IOU a day. It sounds to me you have taken an overdose of Vit. D.It causes calcium buildup in your blood.It can cause bone pain,muscular weekness, fatique, confusion heart rythm abnormalidies. You schould discontinue the Vit.D and see a Doctor. The best way to get Vit. D, is from exposing your forearms to the sun at least 15 min. a day

        Sounds like poor circulation in your lower extremities. Does it help if you put your feet up higher than your heart? 50,000 iu's of D is definitely too much. Back off to no more than 2000 iu's per day.
