Is it possible to have a vitamin deficiency while taking a multi-vitamin?

I've been Vegan for a little over 2 months now, and Vegetarian on and off for years before that.

I take a multivitamin everyday, and though I haven't been eating as well as I normally do recently, I have been constantly dizzy for the past month. Not fall over dizzy, just like my head is in a constant fog.

I try to eat at least 2 fruits and 2 veggies a day, I don't drink alcohol, I generally drink 6-9 glasses of water a day, and as of late I haven't been exercising due to the dizziness.

Could I be deficient in a vitamin? Or could this be something else?

My dr's appointment isn't for another month and a half and I need to start getting some ideas now because I don't know if I can wait that long!

    You could be low on iron still. Sometimes we need a really big dose of certain things to get back on top again and some supplements don't have 100% of the recommended daily amount in them anyway. Try to get an earlier appointment, no one should have to wait that long to sort out such a problem x

    Dear Darian: If you take the RDA (recommended daily allowance) is not likely that you are going to have vitamin overdose, and the multivitamins on the market comply with this . Regarding of which vitamins may cause overdose symptoms, I can give you some examples: Niacin flush (excess of vitamin B3) is uncomfortable, and may last 2 to 8 hours. Vitamins A and D may cause symptoms when taken large doses daily for months, but a single large dose of these vitamins is rarely harmful. Complex B vitamins usually do not cause symptoms, and the excess is eliminated by urine. Also minerals, as iron and calcium may cause overdose if taken in excess but when medical care is given promptly usually there is a full recovery.
