I started taking it two years ago and it's made a huge difference in my life. I take 2000iu once a day and get my bloodwork done once a year. I'm still a little low (which gives you an idea of how low I must have been before taking it) but I have far more energy, far less depression and am slowly but surely becoming more functional.
(Another thing I do is freeze the gelatin fish oil capsules and take three just before bed. I hate fish but this is good for my cholesterol and brain function.)
YES!!! My husband's body stopped making Vit D completely (possibly because he has cancer in his R lower leg) and he was put on mega doses for several months. He takes 2000 D3 now and so do I. There are several research papers done on the subject that seems to indicate we need a lot more of it than we usually get from sunshine. I can't point to any one thing that I notice that is different or better, but I continue to take my daily dose! :-)

Vitamin D - My doc told me when I moved to Wa state that low Vit D is very common round here, as a prior poster said. After reading this thread, I upped my dosage...lol
D3 - I am still on World of Warcraft but I did download the trial of Diablo II. I had trouble navigating, but did not spend much time with it. Just decided this morn to play my Priesty who is lvl 82, dual spec. I am going to change her hair style and try to concentrate on her. My hunter is fairly maxed out and really is just working on the 250k kill pvp title, she already has the lower one "of the Horde".
Taking fish oil at night is a very neat idea...never thought of doing them cold... good idea
