I've tried taking it 4 seperate times now and it seems like every time I do I get increased anxiety.....Could this be a start up side effect, or is that only a med thing?

I've found it to be a help actually both for depressive and anxiety aymptoms, although I think I did feel rather edgy for a while at first. I've been taking it now for around 2 months.
Dosage is 4 10ug tablets per day although i've just dropped that to half that amount and replaced the other half with 1000mg codliver oil per day with its associated vit A and vit D.

Glad to hear the VitD is helping you:-)
good levels! *grins*BTW the levels I was so concerned about were in the hundreds of IU's a day (over 100ug/day.. 250ug/day was being discussed, with up to 1000ug/ day), and my added concern was that JL had already maybe had problems with high calcium levels and calcium stomes.

I know I tend to panic:-) but the panic was based on another user maybe as well, whom I can no longer ask.My Dad's hands are really in a bad way. Thick hard skin peeling off palms specially after going hard and a yellowish white colour and really itchy, red, inflamed with raised capillaries and little spots below. Newly exposed skin from beneath immediately peels as well.
So I got a bottle of cod liver oil( about a tablespoon a day for first week, then just twice a week ) for vitA mainly as he gets plently of sunlight, and 2 fish oil capsules/day as well as other oils, creams for skin, B5 and a zinc-mineral combo and trying to convince him to take a spoon of brewers yeast daily as well for a multiB with biotin.
He's done the antibiotics and cortisol/fungal creams from the skin specialists with no luck..as well as a large selection of those in the chemistsHope something works. Never seen anything as severe. Guess it must be hand exposure to something as that's the only place it occurs?
I suspected pyrethrins as they have a new house spray but I couldn't find anything on that doing that much damage to skin.
I took a large spoon of cod liver oil (about 15ml?) for 5 days as well.

not sure how much that is ..but I figure a couple of large spoons a week is enough.
Is 1000mg is about 4ml or a teaspoon full?I guess you haven't noticed the VitA in the cod liver oil helping your hair?

The small greek mu is alt-0181 µ
You need numlock on, and while holding down the alt key, enter 0181 on the numeric keypad on the right.
