While water soluble vitamins you just pee out if you take too many, fat soluble vitamins can build up in your system. If you are taking too many that you don't actually need, you can cause serious health problems, including death if you reach a toxic level. See your doctor first.

I know for me, stress plays a big role in how much energy I have, regardless of how much I eat. Mental and psychological aspects shouldn't be overlooked.
