Thyroxine

[Heath1958]

I have accidently over about 3 weeks taken 75mg extra. My usual is 75mg one day and next 100.mg on the 75mg day I take a 50mg and 25mg however the 100mg was us the same color pack as my 25 usual is so have been taking 150mg on the 75mg day. Thankfully I noticed about 3 weeks in. I had been feeling unwell for the last week. I have not taken any for 2 days and beginning to feel better.

Has anyone done this, if so what did u do

Short term levothyroxine over-dose or under-dose is usually not of any great significance.

It would be different if you were massively over-dosing. Or were feeling really bad.

Just return to the dosing regime you were happy with. Two days without is probably OK - but not much longer.

In a few weeks, six or eight, it would be sensible to have a test to see where you are.
