How to reverse the effects of a multivitamin overdose?
I have been taking recently the Centrum Performance multivitamin and I had to stop it. Though I followed the one-a-day with-food guideline I have all of the symptoms of a multivitamin overdose. Maybe it's just me. Let me give you the label information and tell me what you think:
Vitamin A 3,500 IU (29% as Beta-Carotene) 70%
Vitamin C 120 mg 200%
Vitamin D 400 IU 100%
Vitamin E 60 IU 200%
Vitamin K 25 mcg 31%
Thiamin 4.5 mg 300%
Riboflavin 5.1 mg 300%
Niacin 40 mg 200%
Vitamin B6 6 mg 300%
Folic Acid 400 mcg 100%
Vitamin B12 18 mcg 300%
Biotin 50 mcg 17%
Pantothenic Acid 12 mg 120%
Calcium 100 mg 10%
Iron 18 mg 100%
Phosphorus 48 mg 5%
Iodine 150 mcg 100%
Magnesium 40 mg 10%
Zinc 11 mg 73%

Ginseng Root (Panax ginseng) 50 mg
Standardized Extract *
Boron 60 mcg *
Nickel 5 mcg *
Silicon 4 mg *
Tin 10 mcg *
Vanadium 10 mcg *
*Daily Value not established.
Just in case I am actually right about the overdose, how can I reverse the effect?
What else can I take to improve my health?
I am currently taking Gaia Herbs: Adrenal Health (which contains Holy Basil and Rhodiola root),Krill Oil, L-Lysine and Centrum Ultra Women's Multivitamin. I also take the Paradise Herbs Green power that I mix with my juice
Any other suggestion for me to take to improve myself. I have a low immune system and taking all my vitamins have helped. However, I still can't find the energy to get up most time in the morning. (I am college student and I also supervise overnight at a shelter. So my stress level can be high at times, any suggestion for anything else that will improve myself (maybe also the dark undereye circle I have and my hair).
Thanks

Any other supplement I should be taking?
What should I take (vitamins) to get enough energy?
I am currently taking Gaia Herbs: Adrenal Health (which contains Holy Basil and Rhodiola root),Krill Oil, L-Lysine and Centrum Ultra Women's Multivitamin.
Any other suggestion for me to take to improve myself. I have a low immune system and taking all my vitamins have helped. However, I still can't find the energy to get up most time in the morning.
