Six signs your vitamin habit might be doing more harm than good

A Daily Mail health piece warns that while many Americans take dietary supplements, taking too much can cause fatigue, gastrointestinal issues (like bloating and diarrhea), dizziness or headaches, heart palpitations, skin discoloration from beta‑carotene/vitamin A, and sleep disturbances. Experts note that excessive intake of vitamins such as D, B6, B12, C, magnesium, iron, and retinol can overload the body, with limits like vitamin D up to 4,000 IU/day and iron around 45 mg/day; reducing intake and watching for persistent symptoms is advised.

Maine Warns of Vet Sedative in Illicit Drugs

Maine Warns of Vet Sedative in Illicit Drugs

Maine public health officials warn medetomidine, a veterinary sedative nicknamed 'rhino tranq,' is appearing in the illicit drug supply—often with fentanyl—and is far more potent than xylazine, potentially causing severe withdrawals, sedation, and cardiovascular problems. While statewide overdoses declined last year, hotspots like Penobscot County and Bangor remain of concern. Testing is limited, naloxone should be used for suspected medetomidine-related overdoses (even though medetomidine itself isn’t reversed by naloxone), and harm-reduction groups urge drug checking as the drug supply remains unpredictable.

Cocaine and meth are back: public health must adapt to a new stimulant era

Opioid overdose deaths are declining, while deaths from cocaine and meth are rising, signaling an evolving drug crisis in which stimulant use often overlaps with opioids. There is no approved medication for cocaine or meth, so public health relies on approaches like contingency management and expanded treatment, though funding remains scarce. Experts emphasize the need for better public awareness of stimulant overdose symptoms and for scaling effective interventions to prevent a repeat of past crises.

Vitamin D overdose warning after extreme supplement use case

Doctors warn that although vitamin D has health benefits, excessive intake can cause hypervitaminosis D with symptoms like vomiting, abdominal pain, drowsiness and kidney injury. A BMJ Case Report describes a middle-aged man taking more than 20 supplements—including 150,000 IU of vitamin D daily—leading to very high vitamin D and calcium levels and an eight-day hospital stay, underscoring the need for safe dosing and awareness of supplement combos.

GLP-1 Drugs Show Cross-Addiction Benefits, Study Finds

GLP-1 Drugs Show Cross-Addiction Benefits, Study Finds

A study of more than 600,000 U.S. veterans with type 2 diabetes found GLP-1 receptor agonists (such as semaglutide and tirzepatide) are associated with lower risks of developing substance use disorders across alcohol, cannabis, cocaine, nicotine, and opioids, and with fewer severe outcomes (fewer overdoses, hospitalizations, emergency visits, and deaths) among those who already have SUDs. The researchers suggest GLP-1s may blunt cravings via a shared brain pathway, and they call for clinical trials to test GLP-1s as treatments for addiction across substances.
