Can a levothyroxine increase from 50 to 75 make you hungry on the first day?

I am so hungry today and have very rarely been hungry in many months.

in my opinion/ experience , changing the dose of levo can result in all sort of 'randomly varying weirdness' symptom wise during the first 4/5/6 wks. and yes that does include 'from day 1'

Today is just so different. I've had breakfast, lunch and a snack and am hungry enough that I could eat another meal already. Feels very unusual.
