In reply to Update: 4 months into current vitamin D trial, posted by Tomatheus on June 2, 2014, at 17:53:52
Hello all,
It's now been a little more than five months since I've begun my most recent vitamin D3 trial. Unfortunately, I can't say that I've noticed any improvements over the course of the past month or so that I can attribute to the vitamin D3 that I'm taking. I've tried a few other supplements on top of the vitamin D3 that I'm taking and have experienced short-lived improvements in my energy and concentration from a few of them, and I'm currently still experiencing a little bit of improvement, probably from a "resveratrol antioxidant" supplement that I'm taking. However, when it comes to the vitamin D3 that I'm taking, I think that if I'm noticing any improvement from the vitamin-hormone that it's improvement that I can hardly detect. I will also say that I ended up reducing my vitamin D3 dose over the past month (from 3,200 to 2,000 IU), just in case the D3 might have had something to do with the increase in pseudohallucinations that I was experiencing. I experienced a first increase in the severity of my pseudohallucinations when I tried reducing my Abilify dose from 5 mg to 3.75 mg, but then after I brought my Abilify dose back up to 5 mg, I experienced a second increase in pseudohallucinations, which prompted me to reduce my vitamin D3 dose.
So, I'll continue to take 2,000 IU of vitamin D3, but I don't expect any more improvements related to taking the D3 from this point forward. If I do seem to notice some improvement that seems to be related to the vitamin D3 that I'm taking, or if anything else changes with respect to my supplementation with D3, I'll post another update here.
