Vitamin D level questions

In October I had my vitamin d level tested (the 25-hydroxy test) and it was 33.9. Then 4 months later I had it tested again and now it's 99.2. That seems like a huge increase. I have been supplementing with CLO and Carlson D drops. I usually only take 2,000 ius a day, but sometimes if i feel a cold coming on or there's something going around DS's school i'll take a mega dose of around 20,000. Should I lighten up on the supplementing? I don't want any adverse effects.

Since you are at a good level already I would keep your daily does and halt the mega dosing for now. I know it is not a popular view right now, but I am of the personal belief that keeping consistent good vitamin D levels is better than mega dosing when ill.
