In reply to Vitamintosis of Vitamin A, posted by poisoned femme on August 19, 2005, at 7:55:19
> I have been poisoned by an acne related drug that is like an overdose of Vitamin A. It has affected my mind and my body. My hair has fallen out. My eyes are sore. My brain is cloudy, my memory is poor, my life isnt the same and the depression is unbearable at times. Is there any way to purge or rid my body of the toxic levels or residue of this?
Vitamin A is a fat soluble vitamin meaning that only time will really eliminate it from your body. There are other complications that can occur such as hypercalcemia (excess calcium).

describes some of it

I think you have to register there.. it has a better description. Generally the outcome is good but the ongoing side effects are admittedly unpleasant from what I can gather.
I'm sorry this happened to you.
cheers.
