General practice internal medicine physician here. Vitamin D is a fat soluble vitamin and can result in toxicity with too much. Moderately high doses can result in bone break down or kidney stone. Toxicity at higher levels is uncommon but can result in even worse problems. Unless you have had a extremely deficient level on labs and you we're specifically instructed by a physician, 10,000 IU a day is way more than you should be taking without medical supervision.
I rarely have anyone on such a high dose, and those that do need it only take it for a short period of time as a loading dose and then transition to a lower maintenance dose thereafter. In more than 20 years of practice, I've not had a single patient that needed that high of a dose for more than a few months.
National Academy of Medicine has defined the "tolerable upper intake level" (UL) for vitamin D as 100 mcg (4000 international units) daily for healthy adults and children 9 to 18 years.
