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%

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

Vitamin C: 500 mg/833%
Vitamin D: 400 IU/100%
Vitamin E: 200 IU/666%
Thiamin: 30 mg/2000%
Riboflavin: 20 mg/1176%
Niacin: 50 mg/250%
Vitamin B6: 30 mg/1500%
Folic acid: 800 mcg/200%
Vitamin B12: 300 mcg/5000%
Biotin: 300 mcg/100%
Pantothenic acid: 30 mg/300%
Calcium: 200 mg/20%
Iodine: 150 mcg/100%
Magnesium: 200 mg/50%
Zinc: 15 mg/100%
Selenium: 70 mcg/100%
Manganese: 6 mg/300%
Chromium: 200 mcg/166%
Molybdenum: 170 mcg/226%
Potassium: 20 mg/<1%
Bioflavinoids: 100 mg/*

Other ingredients: Microcrystalline cellulose, vegetable stearic acid, croscarmellose sodium, magnesium stearate and silicon dioxide.
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.
All the supplements I take can I add anymore??? 10 pts and 5 stars!!!!?

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. (I am college student in a very competitive and tough major, 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).
Thanks
