I take 5000mg of vitamin d because I'm severely deficient, as are most people in new york probably! Also a b complex because I'm very deficient in that according to a recent physical. My doctor (who likes homeopathic remedies) also suggested Ashwagandha for my fatigue.
What do you take and why? Can you tell the difference when you take them?

A multi, a prescription insanely high dose folic acid-because my body doesn't absorb it like others, so I need more to get more, and a fish oil. I can't tell the difference when I take them, really.

I take a multi and fish oil. I'm skeptical about a lot of vitamins on the market, one reason being stuff like this - http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2015/02/03/new-york-attorney-general-targets-supplements-at-major-retailers/?_r=0. Lack of oversight makes it hard to figure out which ones are truly legit.

I take prenatals for family planning and breastfeeding, fish oil with vitamin d3, and I always forget my probiotic (because it is in the fridge).

I take a fish oil (started it for more energy, then I noticed that it had a positive affect on my mood), 5000 IU of vitamin D (energy and mood), and 450 mg magnesium, which I started during my first trimester for water retention and regularity. Which is the greatest thing ever, folks. I add in some iron and vitamin C when I feel sluggish. I really notice a difference when I skip any of it.
