For query 1. Go for serum vitamin D levels first. If D levels are low then you can get vit D supplements in injection formulation as you did not tolerated the oral one
For query 2. It is better to continue last tolerable dose that is 5mg for 3 more months then we will decide how gradually to tapper it off provided you are completely symptom free.
