A note on vit D. It takes the body a week to convert it to Calciferol the form that the body uses. Point being this is why it's important to take it everyday. Once OP gets his levels up then he should be able to buy inexpensive vit D tablets from Costco or wherever and carry on with the daily recommended dose.

The doctor said to take this prescription vitamin D once a week for three months, although my multivitamin has 25mcg of D3

I wonder if you could get a cheap testing kit to test your multivitamin at home, just to make sure they're not sugar pills. The supplement industry is rife with fraud.
