Advice: Just taken too much NDT

[cat69]

Hi

Just a quick one if anyone's about.

My 1pm dose of ndt is normally a 0.5 grains and I have taken 1.5 by mistake!! This makes daily dose to 3.5 instead of 2.1/4

Bit worried will this just elevate heart beat a bit? Shall I just rest up?

thanks in advance

Probably won't have any effect at all. That's only a tiny amount of T3. I wouldn't worry about it, if I were you, being just a one-off.

Ok thanks grey goose!

You're welcome.

cat,

You may feel a bit of a bump with the increased amount of T3 but the T4 should be fine.

A single dose of T3 (taken on an empty stomach) is rapidly absorbed and reaches peak circulating concentration in about two to three hours after ingestion but blood serum concentrations may remain elevated for six - eight hours.

After this time, blood serum concentrations start to decline, unless another dose of T3 is taken so any increase in heat or palpitations should ease off after a few hours.

If you are due another dose today, it may be wise to skip it.

Hi Radd

Yes that's sensible. I will avoid the little bit I take at night. Thanks so much for your advice! Everyone's so knowledgeable on here

I did the same and panicked . I was expecting palpitations and all sorts .

I felt spaced out and headachy for a couple of days . My T3 was near the top of the range anyway and I had been trying to reduce ( and confused the dosages)

Back to normal now . I did notice that exactly 4 weeks on I felt very tired and foggy and a bit headache but this could just have been a coincidence .

I'm am super careful now !!! X

Ps - I was confused as to how much to take after and tinkered a bit and contributed . In hindsight I would have just missed a day I think .

Hi Katoir

All ok this morning. At bedtime I noticed slightly elevated heart rate and strong heartbeat, nothing that stopped me sleeping.

Phew!

I have taken a bit too much before but only an extra quarter or something but was a bit worried as that was 1.5 over my normal.

thanks for the advice.
