The "water soluble" vitamins, B-complex and C, as far as I know are nearly incapable of doing harm. On the other hand, the "fat soluble" vitamins, A,D, E, and K can cause problems. Do a search on "hypervitaminosis". Anyway, check out what's in the vitamins along with the dosages and do a search to find out "how much is too much".

Well, the ones from the grocery store (flintstones, etc) are full of aspartame and very not good for you. As for the other stuff in them, watch the vitamin A.

kbordson 8 #9 January 26, 2008 QuoteDoes something bad happen if you have too many of these thingies? READ THE BOTTLES! (silly peoples!) Most likely you're ok, but it can be dangerous, especially for children! Most important is whether the vitamins also contained iron - Iron Toxicity Vitamin Toxicity * Vitamin A o Acute toxicity effects include headache, photophobia, anorexia, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, drowsiness, irritability, seizures, and desquamation after 24 hours. o Chronic toxicity affects the skin, the mucous membranes, and the musculoskeletal and neurologic systems. o + Skin and mucous membrane effects include erythema, eczema, pruritus, dry and cracked skin, angular cheilitis, conjunctivitis, palmar and plantar peeling, and alopecia. + Musculoskeletal effects include pain and tenderness, particularly in the long bones of the upper and lower extremities, which may be exacerbated by exercise; epiphyseal capping and premature epiphyseal closure may occur in children. + Neurologic effects include blurred vision and frontal headache, which is often the first sign of toxicity. o Findings also include idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH), hepatomegaly, ascites, erythematous dermatitis, migratory arthritis, craniotabes in children, or bulging fontanelle in infants. o Recent studies suggest that elevated levels of vitamin A may cause increased bone resorption and promote development of osteoporosis.2,3 * Vitamin D o Acute toxicity effects are characteristic of hypercalcemia and may include muscle weakness, apathy, headache, anorexia, irritability, nausea, vomiting, and bone pain. o Chronic toxicity effects include the above symptoms and constipation, anorexia, abdominal cramps, polydipsia, polyuria, backache, hyperlipidemia, and hypercalcemia. o Findings may also include calcinosis, followed by hypertension and cardiac arrhythmias (due to shortened refractory period). * Vitamin E o Acute toxicity effects include nausea, gastric distress, abdominal cramps, diarrhea, headache, fatigue, easy bruising and bleeding (prolonged prothrombin time [PT] and activated partial thromboplastin time [aPTT]), inhibition of platelet aggregation, diplopia (at dosages as low as 300 IU), muscle weakness, and creatinuria. o Chronic toxicity effects include all of the above, suppression of other antioxidants, and increased risk of hemorrhagic stroke. * Vitamin K o This particular toxicity is typically associated with formula-fed infants or those receiving synthetic vitamin K-3 (menadione) injections. Because of its toxicity, menadione is no longer used for treatment of vitamin K deficiency. o Effects may include jaundice in newborns, hemolytic anemia, and hyperbilirubinemia. o Toxicity also blocks the effects of oral anticoagulants. * Vitamins B-1, B-2, B-12, and folate o Effects may be minimal and nonspecific. o Vitamin B-2 turns the urine yellow-orange. o Vitamin B-1 (ie, thiamine) toxicity effects may include the following: o + Tachycardia + Hypotension + Cardiac dysrhythmias + Headache + Anaphylaxis + Vasodilation + Weakness + Convulsions o Single acute toxicity is rare. * Vitamin B-3 (ie, niacin, nicotinic acid) o Acute toxicity effects are prostaglandin-mediated and include flushing, pruritus, wheezing, vasodilation, headache, increased intracranial blood flow, headache, diarrhea, and vomiting. o Chronic toxicity effects include jaundice, abnormal liver function test results, signs and symptoms of liver toxicity (most common with sustained-release preparations), and acanthosis nigricans (rare). * Vitamin B-6 (ie, pyridoxine) o Effects include tachypnea and sensory neuropathies, such as burning pains, paresthesias, ataxia, clumsiness, paralysis, and perioral numbness. o Findings range from normal CNS function to progressive sensory ataxias, profound impairment of position and vibration sense, and diminished tendon reflexes. * Vitamin C o Effects may be renal colic (ie, nephrolithiasis), diarrhea, nausea, rebound scurvy in infants born to women taking high doses, hemolysis if glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G-6-PD) deficiency is present, possible dental decalcification, and increased estrogen levels. o Findings may include occult rectal bleeding.
