Responses (5) Hi Rutvij, vitamin D deficiency sure can cause pain and havoc with our bodies. I also had the same problem, but my doctor had me take a prescription vitamin D, once a week, at 50,000 IU's. If you take too much it can be toxic and cause problems as well as a deficiency.
Vitamin D supplements can be found over the counter in just about any corner store. However, the high dose form, which contains 50,000 units of the vitamin and is taken once or twice a week, can only be obtained by prescription. A prescription for 50,000 units of vitamin D could be a simple way to turn your life around if your level of the vitamin is low. Of course, this should be discussed with your doctor. Many new studies are in the works looking at this intriguing connection. But in the meantime, the potential benefits of vitamin D for depression, should not be ignored.
