Increased thyroxcine and symptoms

I have had an increase in my thyroxcine which I started on Tues.

Felt great Wed and Thurs but feel exausted today.

My throat and neck area feels weird as if I'm coming down with infection.

Is it normal to have symptoms after an increase?

Feeling a bit deflated.!!!!

Annette, some people do feel a bit weird for a few days when they increase dose. It'll take another 4 or 5 days to be absorbed before it starts working on your symptoms and up to 6 weeks to feel the full impact of a dose increase.
