Hi There, I was wondering if anyone out there has been prescribed a supplement called Invita D3, I have been taking this for 3 weeks now to help witht osteoporosis, I am also having the yearly infusion of Zoledronic Acid in December, I have started to have headaches,( I have never really suffered with these in the past), they are a kind of fuzzy type headache, and wondered if anyone else out there has any experience of this. Thanks for listening.

Hi Dollydaydreams, Yes, they were very high, little ampoules of oil, 25.000UI, twice a week, and they made me feel awful too, but I called them and she said to drop it to once a month, so I'll see how that goes, Keep well.

What did you do, just stop taking them, and what did you take instead, and did it give you headaches?

I take one D3 pill a day; I don't know how you explain the dose as it uses a symbol I can't recreate or understand 25...g. On the back of the bottle it says this equates to 1,000 I.U. I've not noticed any after effects.

I was taking 25,000 twice a week, which is a lot, Nurse reduced it once a month now, so I'll see how that goes
