Synopsis:
I took too much thyroid (cynoplus) and developed hyperthyroid symptoms. How long should it take to go back to "normal"? It's been 5 months since I stopped the cynoplus and I still have uncomfortable symptoms.
Details:
I used to be mildly hypothyroid for a long time. I struggled with cold hands and feet, anxiety, and fatigue most of my adult life (I'm 40). I finally decided to try thyroid supplementation last year (cynoplus) and I think I overdid it.
Now I feel hot, get sweaty easily, have a pounding heartbeat, and trouble sleeping. I used to sleep 8 hours easily and now I average 6 hours. My resting heart rate has increased to around 90-100 during the day when it used to be 50-55. I also have weird symptoms like knee pain when going down stairs and eye pain, which I never had before and think are hyperthyroid related.
I've seen threads on the forum mentioning similar situations with taking too much thyroid, but in those the thyroid supplementation was for a very short period of time or a single large dose. In my case I supplemented for 5 months. I started at 1/8 cynoplus tablet and worked up to 3/4 tablet. Now it has been 5 months since I stopped.
I hoped that stopping the cynoplus would make me eventually go back to how I was pre-supplementation. That hasn't happened after 5 months. Is there something I should do to force myself to go back to "normal"?
Labs:
T3 uptake, T4 Total, and Free T4 = high
TSH = very low (<0.01)
