Joint pain from Eltroxin

[Ellame]

I took double dose of Eltroxin instead of 100mcg I took 200mcg by mistake just asking did any one make mistake I had a lot of joint pain in back hips shoulders didn't make the connection until I went to pharmacy I usually took two tablets but I should have taken one.

It is not clear if you did this on one occasion (one day), or for a longer time (weeks?, months?).

If it was one day, then the effect is likely to be ignorably small.

Sorry I too double dose for 3 weeks

That certainly could make you feel bad.

A bit surprised if joint pain was the only bad effect.

Are you on your correct dose now?

It might take several weeks to get back to where you were.

I still have to get blood test done next week so will know then
