taken too much T3

[mandy72]

ive increased my morning from 20 to 30mcg and seem to be okish on that and then 10mcg in the afternoon

just been to daughters for the day so was late taking my afternoon dose and have just got back and taken 20mcg instead of 10mcg

what do i look out for?

i was looking to increase my pm dose at some point but not this soon

Pounding heart, fast heart rate, anxiety, sweating, feeling hot, diarrhoea. It should subside but if you have any ongoing symptoms you can always leave out your next dose.

nothing new for me really then

heart rate increases in the evening (could be i need an increase but been too scared)

anxiety is an ongoing thing

sweating and feeling hot im allways sat in front of a fan and hubby complains that hes cold

Is it possible you're already overreplaced?

[mandy72 in reply to puncturedbicycle]

dont think so TSH was 3 something on 40mcg

[puncturedbicycle in reply to mandy72]

Hmm, doesn't sound like it would be too much does it? But do you know your t3 result?

Tbh, I have no idea as my last results were tsh 5.17 (0.34 - 5.6) but t3 was 5.4 (3.8 - 6.8) and this was 26hrs after my last dose. I assume if I'd had it done 12hrs earlier it would be possible that my tsh might have been lower - 3ish? - and possibly t3 over range. Never happened before, usually have suppressed tsh.

these are results i had done through medichecks in march

TSH 5.60 (0.27 - 4.2)

FT3 5.8 (12 - 22)

free thyroxine 4.3 (3.1 -6.5)

at the time i was on 40mcg T3

this is what was sent with results from medichecks.......

Dear Miranda,

Please find our comments below regarding your test results.

Your Free Thyroxine indcates that you do not have sufficient thyroxine for your needs.

The raised TSH indicates that the pituitary is needing to stimulate thyroid production.

We note that you are taking T3 supplements.

We advise that you discuss this result with your doctor so that the imbalance can be corrected.

Refer to GP : We recommend that you make an appointment with your GP to discuss your Thyroid Monitoring Profile results in more detail.

then a blood test (through endo) just after was TSH 3 something but low T4 so endo upped my T3 to 60mcg
