How does one get their life back together, if said someone hypothetically is stuck with an addiction?

This one is actually surprisingly good, but too much Vitamin D. I'm impressed Jason

Not sure on that dose, but vitamin D deficiency is highly correlated with depression, as you say this actually quite decent advice.

I came back here and read the others - your comment was great too.

I take 12500iu of vitamin D daily in the winter, 10000iu in the summer (5x + 4x 2500ui pills), 2x K2 + D3 pills (120mcg+1000iu), 2x chewable B12 under my tongue, at least one Siberian Ginseng and Korean Red Ginseng, some pain relief for my back - all daily. I'd rather have too much D than too little. It seems to make all the difference to me. Wish I'd known about this a LONG time ago.

After doing a little reading, that dosage seems perfectly reasonable and safe. In the actual scientific literature there isnt evidence of hypercalcemia in adults until around 50,000+IU (too much vitamin D makes you hold onto calcium in your blood), and even then only after several months of that dose. 10-12K appears to be well with the safe range, as there doesnt appear to be any evidence that harm can occur from such a dose, despite people regularly taking this amount. The NIH recommended max of 4K per day seems based on an assumption that it should be sufficient to get you in the recommended range (NIH assumptions are always questionable), rather than there being any actual evidence of harms from doses exceeding the recommendation.

Indeed.

I think they're keeping it down on purpose - for the "anti"depressant industry.

I might take 20k for a while to see if it makes any difference.
