What Causes Irritability While On Thyroid Medication?

I think my thyroid medication dose is too high. I have been extremely irritable in the morning after taking my pill. For two hours, I rant and rave about anything and everything. After a couple hours, I calm down and can t understand why this happens every morning. And I feel happy and content about everything when I wake up.

Hi,

The symptoms you have mentioned suggestive of hyperthyroidism. Consult a physician and get a thyroid function test (TFT). If the hormone status is high you have to make necessary dose adjustments.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
