Can confirm. Doctor recommended that I start taking Vitamin D daily after a physical a few years back. On their advice, I purchased a bottle at the doctor's recommend dosage level and started taking pills daily.

Within a week I stopped because I could already feel pain in my kidneys. Having had a kidney stone before, and having had to pass one (thankfully small) one, I immediately stopped taking the Vitamin D since that the only lifestyle change I had made. Things subsided after that.

Should I need to take Vitamin D in the future I will be starting at a VERY SMALL dose and slowly working up. Kidney stones suck.

Just curious what size was your daily dose?

It has been several years, but I think I was prescribed 5000 IU daily. As I recall I didn't have any troubling purchasing a bottle immediately at the store so it wasn't an uncommon dosage.
