Vaping makes me tired?

[BubbleBobble]

Glad I'm not the only one! I get these spells of being OVER tired! I'll start to fall asleep anywhere! Hoping this passes...

Depression was definitely an issue at first, but seems to have ran its course over the first week. Glad I'm not the only one.

Not to curb anybodies enthusiasm, but I'd read up vitamin D in particular before taking any large amounts of it. There are quite a few sources that say too much of it is not recommended.
Not to mention that even I find it very easy to get enough of it out of food, and my eating habits are not exactly as recommended.

You would have to take HUGE doses before it became toxic. I am speaking like 40,000ius per day for six straight months. There is NO case of toxicity in dosages even at 10,000ius per day.

I might add that I am in a study group for D3 in high dosages since 05/09. Not one report of ANY toxicity.
I am not sure what you are reading, but, please check your sources. And the only way you can get it out of your food would be to drink about 45 glasses of milk a day. There simply is not NEARLY enough D3 in our everyday diets.
Our bodies use up appx. 5000ius per day.

My dear, I merely suggested checking things before swallowing. Which is always a good idea. I do however refuse to get into any debates about the one and only right way to eat.

I also refuse to believe that there is any supplement that is inevitable. Because if it were, how exactly did humans evolve without them? Exactly …

You may freely believe otherwise.

What you also said was there are quite a lot of "sources" that say too much is not recommended. That is the part I disagree with, along with you being able to get enough from food. Simply not true. And I never asked you to get into a debate about the one and only way to "eat". Have no clue where you got that one.

Vitamin D3 is NOT a vitamin, but a steroid hormone that our bodies need. What does evolution have to do with it? D3 comes mostly from sunshine, but, there are those of us who do not get enough because of the geographical area we live in, or any of a number of other reasons.

Tired is hardly the word......Exhausted, no energy, sleepy is more like it. I have problems waking up in the morning. Even after I force myself out of bed, it takes me an hour to wake up. I have been vaping 8 days and the more I do, the more I can't hardly move. I go from the computer to the bed and can hardly do much else.
I didn't smoke cigarettes, I quit 2 years ago. I was chewing nicotine gum and addicted to that. So it has nothing to do with smoking and then quiting.
Something we are inhaling is making us this way. Nicotine increases heart rate which speeds up our energy.
What is in this making us so exhausted? I will give it 2 more days, then I am going back to chewing my gum...........

OK,
I did not read all of the posts here..... I admit that.

Here is what I will say,

Vitamin D is a fat soluble vitamin, which means that you can indeed retain too much of it!
As opposed to a water soluble vitamin, which you will excrete the excess out in urine.

Rule of thumb, fat soluble vitamin=toxicity possible
water soluble vitamin= toxicity highly unlikely

not to say that the levels of vitamin d to produce toxicity aren't extremely high, but the possibility does exist.

Now back on vitamin d,
yes, we as humans do produce our own vitamin d......
from sunlight.
Our vitamin d is synthesized in our bodies from cholesterol.

So you do need cholesterol to make you own vitamin d. That is why people bunkered up in their houses up north for winter should have some vit d (and why lots of milk is fortified with it).

one of the most.... if not THE MOST.... trusted medical sources...

Vitamin D: Safety - MayoClinic.com

Side Effects and Warnings
Vitamin D is generally well tolerated in recommended "Adequate Intake (AI)" doses. One study found a greater likelihood of daytime sleepiness for patients given vitamin D analogues.
Vitamin D toxicity can result from regular excess intake of this vitamin, and may lead to hypercalcemia and excess bone loss. Individuals at particular risk include those with hyperparathyroidism, kidney disease, sarcoidosis, tuberculosis, or histoplasmosis. Chronic hypercalcemia may lead to serious or even life-threatening complications, and should be managed by a physician. Early symptoms of hypercalcemia may include nausea, vomiting, and anorexia (appetite/weight loss), followed by polyuria (excess urination), polydipsia (excess thirst), weakness, fatigue, somnolence, headache, dry mouth, metallic taste, vertigo, tinnitus (ear ringing), and ataxia (unsteadiness). Kidney function may become impaired, and metastatic calcifications (calcium deposition in organs throughout the body) may occur, particularly affecting the kidneys. Treatment involves stopping the intake of vitamin D or calcium, and lowering the calcium levels under strict medical supervision, with frequent monitoring of calcium levels. Acidification of urine and corticosteroids may be necessary.
Pregnancy and Breastfeeding
The recommended adequate intake for pregnant women is the same as for non-pregnant adults. Some authors have suggested that requirements during pregnancy may be greater than these amounts, particularly in sun-deprived individuals, although this has not been clearly established. Due to risks of vitamin D toxicity, any consideration of higher daily doses of vitamin D should be discussed with a physician.
Vitamin D is typically low in maternal milk, and to prevent deficiency and rickets in exclusively breastfed infants, supplementation may be necessary, starting within the first two months of life.

..tab though it to see all you need to know on the vitamin.

My suggestion - exercise! I know that running/working out is the last thing you want to do when you're exhausted and tired but it is the best way to get your energy back. Go kill yourself at the gym and drink a lot of water. It might increase your short term exhaustion but it's a good kind of exhaustion and in the long run you'll have much more energy. You're clearing your lungs, do something with them.

I have been having a hard time getting out of bed in the morning as well. I thought it was the gloomy weather; I never thought quitting the cigs could have something to do with it...hmmm
