Hi All,
I raised my desiccated thyroid from 150mg to 157.5 mg several weeks ago. After about 3 weeks, I started to feel some symptoms of over-medication. Rather than drop back to my original dose, I foolishly decided to reduce my ERFA to almost nothing for 5 days.
I have been back to my original 150mg for 19 days now, and am having lots of trouble with anxiety, a strong heat flush about 2 hours after taking meds and increased pulse and blood pressure. This lasts for an hour or two, and then I feel a bit hypo until 2 hours after the next dose.
I am already splitting my dosage into 5 @30mg per day.
I realize this was a stupid mistake, but now I need to get through this. How long can I expect these symptoms? Is there any way to reduce them?
