I’m severely deficient of vitamin D, but whenever I supplement it in any form I crash. Does anybody else have the same issue with vitamin D and is there any speculation as to why this might happen?

我知道一些中国的患者缺乏维生素，但好像有人吃了后加重了耳鸣，最安全的方式似乎是晒太阳。我认为我们的一切症状都像是“老了”，一切源于雄激素的匮乏

Same here I can’t even take much sunlight anymore. I’d say its down to gene over expression which probably varies in us. Ie to different degrees.

Make sure the supplement does not have sunflower, safflower, soybean, or any other filler oils. It should be as close to pure vitamin D as you can get.
I didn’t respond well to vitamin D either, I crashed the first time I took vitamin D/K2 drops, I checked out low vitamin D the other day, I got a lot of sun yesterday, and I ate a lot of pork, 4 or 5 oranges, and prune blueberries and strawberries, which probably had nothing to do with vitamin D. I feel like maybe the sun is causing me to get worse. The first thing that gets worse is that I start chattering, depression gets worse, fatigue gets worse, and then I start to atrophy and lose connection. This fucking vitamin D, but I’m on the low vit d, and I don’t know what to do

I have the same.
I crashed hard from supplementing Vitamin D (2500 IU a day).
I have been to solarium a couple of days ago that has also UVB rays for Vitamin D. I crashed again. I am not sure that thats the cause for my crash but i fear, that i am now prone to crash from sun as well in summer. Its winter now where i live.
It was strange. The day i was to solarium i expierienced some libido and better sleep. Better PFS overall. Better libido stayed to the next day, but the following days i crashed.
Fear i am severly fucked now with not beeing able to get in the sun.
Would like to hear how things have developed for some of you guys.

Have things gotten any better for you man?
Taking vitamin D tablets have caused me to crash in the past. It resulted in notably high levels of anxiety, especially.
I once read that Vit D3 has 5-Alpha Reductase Inhibitor properties. Unfortunately I didn’t save the link. Someone will be able to dig it up, with enough searching. If D3 is a 5-ARI - this is probably what is causing the crashes.
Sunlight only seems to produce positive effects. Obviously I protect the skin on my face since it is very sensitive, due to Accutane. Skin on rest of body is ok, I just make sure not to get burned.
Have you considered trying to improve your vitamin D levels through food? Oily fish, mushrooms, eggs, etc. I don’t know if it has enough to solve the problem entirely, but this may be another route. I have gone through long periods of eating canned oily fish every day (sardines, mackerel) and encountered no negative impacts.
Yeah I’m fine now. Every time I get a lot of sunlight, I have a couple days of the panic attacks, but they don’t really ever last far beyond that anymore. But it is the same brutal crash, just at a shorter timescale.
