What Causes Disoriented Feeling After An Increase In The Synthroid Dosage?
Hello. I have been on synthroid since I was 15 years old. I am now 40 years old. I have had my dosage changed 2x that I know of in all those years. Around early January my dosage was changed from 200 mcg to 225. About a month into it I started having all kinds of symptoms that I had never experienced before and even took me to the ER. Just 2 weeks ago it was discovered that I was being over medicated. I have felt pretty good the last week or two but today am feeling kind of out of it a little bit. How long before I will start feeling better on yet a different dosage? Thanks

HI
Your levels should be checked after a month on the new dosage to make sure your TSH level is in the appropriate range
