This D2 saved my life; I was having so many problems with my digestive issues; acids, bloating, constipation, IBS, nausea and pass-out feelings, fatigue-anemia symptoms, etc.. and now everything is gone. At first I was worried about 50,000iu pill for being too strong, but trust me, the first 24hrs of the very first pill was the best day of my life in 4 years; it was a good decision to take this pi ...

I am not an expert, but definitely there is a very good reason why our doctors prescribing D2 instead of over the counter D3 supplements, and I am enjoying it.

I was recently diagnosed with an extremely low vitamin d level of 10 and prescribed 50,000 iu of Drisdol once a week for 12 weeks.I was reluctant to take such a high dose since every over the counter Vitamin D supplement I've ever taken has triggered my migraines. My doctor assured me that, since Drisol is Vitamin D2 NOT Vitamin D3, there would be no side effects. Yeah... famous last words... Within 24 hours after taking the first capsule of Drisdol I began having horrible pain in my knees as well as a vicious migraine that NONE of my usual migraine meds even made a dent in. I called my doctor to inform him that I was, indeed, experiencing side effects but the nurse didn't believe that drisdol was causing my problems and told me to finish the prescription. I then called my pharmacist who told me that severe joint pain and migraine headaches are common side effects of drisdol. Needless to say I stopped taking it. I know my doctor won't be happy with my decision but that's just the way it goes. If he had the reaction to Drisdol that I experienced I bet he would stop taking it too.

Before I was diagnosed with Vit D deficiency, I had severe aches and pains in my joints. It was so bad that I had to use a walker and couldn't drive my car. I also suffered severe depression. I went to the dr and didn't get a diagnosis but he gave me an antibiotic and it seemed to improve my situation. When it was time for my pap exam, my ob/gyn did tests and called me saying I needed Vitamin D and prescribed 50,000 IU once a week. I have to say that pill saved my life. I haven't had any aches and pains and it was like someone lifted a veil off my head and the depression was gone. Everything seemed to look brighter to me, I can't praise this vitamin enough. I'm so thankful to my dr. for doing the blood test and finding out I was vitamin d deficient. I go back for blood tests every 3 months and I've been on this dosage for over a year. My doctor said I'm good to take it as long as my levels are good. Honestly, I'm afraid to go off this vitamin. I don't ever want to go back to the way I felt before!!
