Hello. I was taking 14 different vitamin pills for acne and skin for over one year period, including Vitamin A, B6, zinc, selenium, Vitamin D3, Vitamin C, Vitamin E and others.
Lately, I started feeling muscles cramps, weakness in whole body and fatigue. Acne has CLEARED COMPLETELY.
I also eliminated: Soy, diary, gluten, sweets, oil of any type(cooking without oil)and eating only fruits, vegetables, legumes, chicken and fish. Drinking only tea and water, however above symptoms I started to feel lately. Could these symptoms be due to long term intake of those vitamin pills? Should I stop taking them daily at all? Are they damaging my overall health? I am scared if I stop taking those vitamin supplements, that my acne will return shortly after stopping them. Any suggestions?
Thank you.

I took Vitamin A Retinol for about 1 year and 7 months, a 50.000 IU pill daily. Also, 55 mg zinc daily. Everything daily for 1 year and 7 months now.

I already wrote that above! Vitamin A retinol 50.000 IU a pill daily for 1 year and 7 months. And zinc 55 mg daily. This were the highest vitamin intake I took. The rest of them, just normal amounts.

why did you take above the recommended daily intake? even a basic google search will tell you vitamin A and zinc both have side effects.

talk to a doctor.
