Too much Levothyroxine?

Hello everyone, I'm on 100mg of Levo and have been for a couple of years, over the last year I've started to take the various supplements that are recommended, as well as eating better, no alcohol, meditation etc. Last night I took my tablet at bedtime as usual and not long after felt very jittery and anxious with strange prickly pain in my tongue and felt hot (which I still do), so my question is; could it be that I'm on too high a dose now and feeling a bit hyper?

I will go and have my bloods checked but as for asking the GP's advice....pointless.

Thanks, Claire.

Worryworm,

I wouldn't assume that feeling jittery and anxious for one night means you are over medicated and prickly pain in your tongue isn't a typical symptom of over medication. When you get your results and ranges post them in a new question for advice.

I would try to switch to another brand of T4 . It might just be the fillers in your T4 that are not agreeing with you .
