Feeling anxious

[Yadayadalenny]

3 weeks ago I raised my dosage from 150 -175 and in the past few days I have been feeling very tense and anxious. Has anyone else had a similar experience and does it pass? Thank you

What were the results of your thyroid tests that the increase in dose was based on? Can you post the results, including the reference ranges, so that members will be able to comment.

I am not able to get the results until Monday. It would be useful to know if anyone has experienced similar symptoms and if they pass.

As you haven't completed your profile or given any information about your thyroid journey or test results in this post, it's difficult to comment.

It could be that you are one of those members who is sensitive to increases in Levo and needs to take it slowly, so maybe 12.5mcg would have been better rather than 25mcg.

It could be that your results were already in a reasonable place and that 25mcg increase was more than you needed.

So until we have more information, there's not much anyone can say.

Ask at your surgery's reception for a print out of our results, don't accept verbal or hand written results as mistakes can be made.

You will get more accurate comments so I would suggest starting a new post once you get them and don't forget the ranges as they differ from lab to lab.

Your present question is abut like how long is a piece of string! We can all vary on this, some can settle down but in others it could be too much so that's why your actual readings are so important. It could also be that the next dose is too much so may be alternate increases over two days be looked at. I.e. 150/175 of if you have a pill cutter 162.5 daily.

But please start a new post with your new results when you get them and we can take it from there.
