I'm taking a multivitamin since 2 days. I felt slight headache today. I was thinking may be it's an overdose of a certain vitamin in my body. So would you advise me to cut it in half and take only half everyday? Thank you doctor.

Hye. First of all taking a multivitamin cannot be done randomly. You need a multivitamin supplement only if you have a medical condition which calls for an increased need or you have a deficiency. In two days of the intake you cannot develop toxicity of a vitamin. Also if the requirement is justified or you are having a deficiency then taking half the dose does not make sense. There is a possibility that you took the supplement on an empty stomach or with a stimulant like tea or coffee. This can cause a bit of irritation. The best way to take a multivitamin is after 15 minutes of breakfast.
