I take 10,000 a day. (20,000 is when I start feeling side effects.) It's done wonders for my general mood and energy levels. WARNING: Ramp up and proceed with caution.

Have you done any blood-work showing 10k IU to put your blood levels in the appropriate ranges?

How fast did the negative effects appear when you were taking 20k/day? What were they?

And how fast did you notice positive effects as you changed dosage?

Serious negative effects are supposed to take months to appear, even at 100k/day.

Negative effect: The metallic taste one, that day; I backed right off. Positve effects: within a few days.

Did you ramp up? That is, did you try 5k for weeks before trying 10k? Did you get any blood tests?
