You have to be careful with the fat-solubles (Vitamin E is one) - they can accumulate in body tissue and produce the effects of a much larger dose than you think you're taking. Vitamin E is an anticoagulant as well as an antioxidant, and 3200 IU's is well over the dosage that can produce these anticoagulant effects - fine if that's what you have in mind, not so good if you don't like to bleed.

That said, I'm a megadose experimenter and have been for a quarter century now. You have to stay on top of it and know what you're doing, but other than the third arm growing from my forehead I haven't had any ill effects. ;-)

Considering how the name of this researcher might be pronounced, you may not have done so badly.

I’m at 14g of C per day and other than a lifetime of diarrhea it’s working out fine.

Hey Bill, just FYI ... or maybe you'd know why:

Everytime I take vitamin E regularly, after about four or five days, I feel like sh*t. Draggy, crappy, sluggish ... I stop taking the vitamin E, and I go back to normal.

Never have figured it out.

I have a faint memory trace of a study showing that 800 units of E were destructive to some folks for I forget the reason. You recall that study?

Well, it is handy for helping you to grasp new concepts.
