Am I taking too much vitamins? (Healthcare professionals and serious answers only please)?
Hi! I am a 28 (almost 29) year old female and I'm in great health. I exercise 5-6 days a week, almost for 2 hours daily, and I do quite a bit of weight training with my cardio. I am on protein supplements and I also take multivitamins daily. I am wondering if I'm overdoing it on vitamins. I know you can consume too much of certain vitamins, with the results being toxic, so I'm wondering how much is too much? Here is what I'm consuming daily just from the supplements (not including my healthy diet):
Vitamin A: 3750 IU (plus a little more from protein shake)
Vitamin C: 350mg (plus a little more from protein shake)
Vitamin D-3: 600
Vitamin E: 100 IU ( plus a little more from protein shake)
Thiamine: 25mg (plus a little more from ps)
Riboflavin: 12.5mg (+ a little more from ps)
Niacin: 47.5mg (+ a little more from ps)
Vitamin B-6: 25mg (+ a little more from ps)
Folic Acid: 1000 mcg (+ a little more from ps)
Vitamin B-12: 62.5 mcg (+ a little more from ps)
Biotin: (+ a little more from ps)
Pantothenic Acid: 125mg (+ a little more from ps)
Calcium: 1125mg (+ a little more from ps)
Iodine: 50mcg (+ a little more from ps)
Magnesium: 125mg (+ a little more from ps)
Zinc: 6.5mg (+ a little more from ps)
Selenium: 50mcg (+ a little more from ps)
Copper: 0.5mg (+ a little more from ps)
Manganese: 2.5mg (+ a little more from ps)
Chromium: 50mcg (+ a little more from ps)
Molybdenum: 25mcg (+ a little more from ps)
Potassium: 25mg
Everything extra on the protein shake said 20% DV except for the Vitamin C, which was 60% DV and Calcium which was 50% DV. So, those are added.
Can someone please tell me if I'm consuming too much of something or if I'm okay? And please give your source. Thank you!

Thank you to all of you! I appreciate all of your answers. The only one I don't understand is the one where there was a "BTW..." Saying that I blocked someone. Was that toward me? I haven't blocked anyone. Did I push a button on here or something accidentally? I never have blocked a person on here.

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 C 120 mg 200%
Vitamin D 400 IU 100%
Vitamin E 60 IU 200%

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

Vitamin B12: 300 mcg/5000%
Biotin: 300 mcg/100%

That's with 3 tablets, and I'm only taking two a day, one in the morning and one at night.
Ever since I started taking them, I've been extremely hungry. I can't stop eating. This morning I ate 3 bowls of cereal and then was still hungry, even after waiting a half an hour between them. I would think the vitamins would help with hunger. I'm not overweight (5'3" and 119 lbs), and I haven't changed my diet or exercise at all.
