feeling lousy
day 8 of 4ml (80mcg)
get so out of breath just walking up the stairs
not been shopping as i feel like i would collapse if i did
exhausted, cant concentrate on one thing for very long (been crocheting a baby blanket for the past week when normally id be done in a couple of days)
Mandy72,
7-10 days usually. You said you were having some improvement for a few hours and were thinking of splitting the dose x 2 so it must have been working. 80mcg probably isn't an optimal dose. How high was your TSH when you started liquid Levothyroxine?
i did see some improvement for a few days but now its like ive taken 10 steps back (maybe i spoke too soon)
about 6 weeks ago TSH 3.57, i want to hold off o bloods for a few more weeks
but i stopped meds around 4 weeks before starting the thyroxine again as heart rate was crazy and i felt worse than i do now
thinking back when i was first diagnosed and on 25mcg i felt something like i do now after a week or 2 and was increased to 50mcg so i might try a small increase to 90mcg and see
Mandy72,
If TSH was 3.57 while you were on meds it will have been a lot higher 4 weeks off meds. You are probably undermedicated. I hope the dose increase helps.
undermedicated is right i have water retention which i also had in the early days before the increase
i cant do the extra 10mcg yet as just eaten so might just wait and do 4.5ml in the morning
increase did help but now feeling lousy again
i decided to do 100mcg
should i hold off for a while and see how things go
i dont want to become over medicated
but dont want to feel awful like i do now
Mandy72,
It should be okay because you weren't over medicated on 40mcg T3.
would i get over mediated symptoms almost straight away or would it be days later?
is 25mcg too much to increase making it 125mcg?
im tempted to add T3 but want to get stable on T4 first then drop some and add in T3 and see how i go
How long till tablets start to work
How to take thyroxine?
How long? 
How long for increase to take effect.
When will t3 Start working?
