I was on 100 levo a day and still feeling dreadful so GP increased it to 125 a day last week.
However, I mixed my pills up (foggy brain) and have just realised that I've been taking 200 instead of 125. I've done this for 4 nights since Friday night. (I always take mine at night away from any food). Saturday I had a bad hangover feeling (as in much worse than usual), Sunday and Monday I had a splitting headache in my right eye and hangover feeling, today bad hangover again. Just the usual really but a bit more severe.
I just took 125 tonight. Should I expect more effects as the double dose works through my system?
Any advice or comments would be appreciated. I feel a bit silly!
Don't worry about it, you won't have done any harm. The hangovers and eye pain may not even have had anything to do with double dosing, although I'm not saying they aren't related.
Some people (not many) take all their meds in one weekly dose. thyroid.about.com/b/2009/03...
I could never take a weekly dose of Levo as I'm too sensitive to it but I recognise the symptoms muirfoot107 describes as overmedication. I think you've gone through the worst already. I'd miss my daily dose for one day if I'd made a mistake like this, then resume new dose after that. Easy mistake to make - when they make them all into almost identical little white tablets!
