Wendy,

Your confusion will be caused by your hyperactivity. Increase your dose as recommended. Once you're on the right dose you'll feel better

I was extremely hyper and took 20mcg a day for a month and my TSH stayed the same although my T4 changed slightly. I was then put onto 40mcg a day and after two months on 40mcg I was quite underactive.

As clutter says, once you are on the correct dose you will feel an awful lot better and that confused feeling will go

I was on 40mg until monthly blood tests ( you can do this) showed under control. Now nearly 18 months later on 5mg every few days...... it took about two months to reduce...... I've just done my first 10k ..... so keep optimistic x

Hi Wendy, its ok it often happens that you have to alter your dose up and down a bit especially at first.I started on 20mg of carb and had to move up to 40mg.Have you had your endocrinology appt yet? Once your dose is ok for you and how you feel you will start to think clearer, hugs.x
