For about 5 mo's I know not smart but it is so. Hard to loss weight on this drug and the hair loss. But anyway I'm back on med 100mcg levothyroxine but now I feel hyper just like in the beginning with Graves so tired the weight loss and hair loss. Can 100mcg be to much since I was off med for months? Has anyone been through this

It might have an effect, being off levo for 5 months. I would start at 50mcg and work up again.

There is serious consequences if you need levo and stop for any reason.

If you were gaining weight, it may be due to the fact you were not on an optimum dose for you.

If you have a copy of your blood test results, post them with the ranges for members to comment on them. "Normal" doesn't always mean that health is normal.

Why are you on Levothyroxine with Graves?

[puncturedbicycle in reply to Clutter]

Block and replace, tt or rai maybe?

[Clutter in reply to puncturedbicycle]

Only mentions Levo, so not B&R, If post RAI and not taking meds Gina would be hypothyroid with sky high TSH not feeling hyper?
