Hi there Recently diagnosed as underactive, Prescribed 25mg for first 8 days then up to 50mg until next check which is 8 weeks from prescription. Am having to break the tablet so will be hit and miss. Day 6, I feel incredibly fuzzy headed, tearful, sick and had herrendous night time sweats last night meaning I am also exhausted. Doc says he will do my B12, Folate and Vit D next time but having read your posts, it seems this Levothyroxine may not be a good thing without first assessing the aforementioned?
Should I just take myself off this stuff until I have received results from a full thyroid function? (By the way I did not present with any symptoms other than a high cholesterol plus high TSH (4.9) and a low Free T4.
Any advice will be most gratefully received as I cant carry on feeling like this
Thank you
