I wonder if someone can help? I've been on NDT for 8 weeks, I started on 1 grain and gradually went up to two as suggested by my Dr. as my levels were so low, I have to say I felt amazing until 2 days ago...since then really bad headaches (at the front around the eyes) my pulse is right up, now 100 was 60 and my blood pressure has also risen dramatically was 120/78 now 140/90. Why would this happen after feeling so good for 8 weeks? how long does it take the body to adjust to the increase in medication? Am I over medicated? I don't feel hot and no heart palpitations. Has anyone else experienced this? Thanks in advance. X

Talking from my own experience, I do think you're overmedicated.. I started on 1 grain and then had to go back to 1/4 for 2 weeks and them raising by 1/4 every 2-3 weeks due to massive weigh loss, palpitations etc. Can take up to 12 weeks to adjust to a mediation so I read. . I'd raise by 1/4 every 2-3 weeks.
