2nd week of small Levothyroxine increase

[App1]

I put in a post about this, 50 on 4 days and now 75 on 3 days. I felt ok and even good until Saturday when I started to be agitated and restless. It’s been a rotten couple of days and telling myself “it will pass” isn’t working too well, in fact not at all. I know in the scheme of things it is nothing. I was awake 12 till 2 and then 4 to 6 overnight, intrusive thoughts etc. No strength to go for a walk today. On positive side my feet are not cold and no need for socks which I’ve worn many times during the heatwave. Any suggestions?..

App1 it is normal to feel good then worse on a dose increase before things hopefully improve again.For me week 2 and week 3 of an increase are awful. It is hard to keep going and easy to give up. However if you need an increase you need to persevere.

The body needs to adapt to changes in hormone levels and this means that we can feel rubbish until things settle unfortunately.

Thanks for the quick response, glad to have confirmation it’s par for the course often. Yes I’ll persevere and am comforted by hearing what you say.
