Just a FYI ;) It is possible to overdose on Vitamin D, because it's a fat-soluble vitamin. But you'd have to take 60,000 units a day for several months.
What is vitamin D toxicity? Should I be worried about taking supplements?
Answer From Katherine Zeratsky, R.D., L.D.
Vitamin D toxicity, also called hypervitaminosis D, is a rare but potentially serious condition that occurs when you have excessive amounts of vitamin D in your body.
Vitamin D toxicity is usually caused by large doses of vitamin D supplements — not by diet or sun exposure.
The main consequence of vitamin D toxicity is a buildup of calcium in your blood (hypercalcemia), which can cause nausea and vomiting, weakness, and frequent urination. Vitamin D toxicity might progress to bone pain and kidney problems, such as the formation of calcium stones.
No problem. You can take two of those a week and do just fine. Your body will store some excess Vitamin D in the cells, which is where it needs to be anyway.

Good info. I got some of those 20,000 IU bottles recently and then read that too high of doses can cause anxiety. Oops.
