Changed synthroid dose ..trouble

3 Replies

Hi everyone

I've been switched from 125mcg synthroid to 112mcg synthroid in addition endo added 10mcg cytomel to my current dose of 5mcg cytomel and all was well until I started getting burning skin sensation and sweating and immediately freezing after taking the 112mcg synthroid usually the symptoms starts 30 minutes or sooner sometimes after taking this 112mcg pill I take the cytomel in 2 doses and I dont start that until 2 hours later.

I did have this very issue a year ago when my 1st endo put me on it however my current endo wanted to try since she upped my cytomel.

Could I be allergic to the 112mcg?

Canyouhearthat,

Possibly. Could your doctor write you a prescription for 125mcg/100mcg Synthroid to be taken alternate days which would average 112.5mcg daily?

I'm still waiting on a call back from Endo I did take a zyrtec and within 15 minutes the burning sensation disappeared it's definatley the synthroid. I don't understand why this pill would cause problems vs. the 125 synthyroid.

Canyouhearthat,

Nevertheless, it happens. A couple of members in the UK are good on 2 x 50mcg Actavis but don't tolerate the 1 x 100mcg Actavis tablets.
