I didnt mean to sound like an ass, I just tried to impress upon you that overdosing vitamines is very difficult. I always err on the more side when it comes to vitamines. Having said that, I am aware of A being somewhat an exception:
The dosage range of vitamin A lipid drops that cancer patients have been using is between 100,000 and 200,000 I.U. a day. The Foundation has cautioned that these high doses could produce toxicity if taken over extended periods of time, yet cancer patients are often forced to risk some degree of toxicity to obtain an effective dose of vitamin A.

Anyone taking very high doses of vitamin A for cancer or any other reason should do so under the care of a physician, and should be on the lookout for symptoms of vitamin A toxicity. The following are common symptoms of vitamin A overdose that should be watched for in cancer patients taking high doses of any vitamin A product:

Headache
Dizziness
Blurred vision
Joint pain
Dry lips
Scaly-dry skin
Excessive hair loss.
Blood tests showing elevated liver enzymes may be a sign of a vitamin A overdose. If any of these symptoms appear, please discontinue using vitamin A until the symptoms disappear and then resume vitamin A therapy at a much lower dosage. The cancer patient faces a dilemma in attempting to use the maximum dose of vitamin A to fight their cancer, while trying to avoid vitamin A toxicity. Those with thyroid cancer should avoid vitamin A.
