synthroid

Avatar m tn I was away for a couple of days and left my synthroid at home. I got home at 2 am in the morning and took a synthroid and again at 8:30 am. Did I over do it? I'm asking so I know for the future.
410801 tn?1220119445 If you are not having any symptoms of overdose I would say it is the synthroid and you should talk to your doc about other options available. There are many brands of T4 available besides synthroid as well as some combinations of T4 and T3 or a natural choice (Armour). Sorry I don't live in CA but http://www.thyroid-info.com/topdrs/california.htm is a good resource for finding a good endocrinologist. The site is managed by patient advocate Mary Shomon.
Avatar n tn I agree with Caregiver. Please do not wait. Call Poison Control and talk to them. Chances are all will be well, but it is important to make sure. The latest research on amoxicillian says that dosing should be done by weight, age being less important. However, it's important to not exceed the recommended dose by age, so this truly only applies to children under the maximum weight. And, as Caregiver said, the concentration is very important.
1549937 tn?1300220335 When I was given the 75 mcg of generic Synthroid, I felt great for the day before I experience the overdose symptoms. I could walk again, no pain, it was like a miracle. So 75 is too much, but 50 isn't enough. What if I took a 50 and half a 25 ? I saw someone on here is taking 162.5 mcg of Synthroid, so they would have had to split a pill to do it.... My life really isn't worth living right now, as I have Depression also with this.
Avatar f tn Some of the errors involved dispensing and administering an incorrect dose of levothyroxine, most often a 10-fold overdose after a decimal point had been misinterpreted. Abbreviations used during the prescribing process have also played a role. In one case, a prescription for SYNTHROID (levothyroxine) "QD" was misinterpreted as "QID.

Avatar f tn Does having too much Synthroid cause your hair to fall out??? I have been having the same problem with hair but my TSH is 1.00 I have Hashimoto's and I was wondering if that would cause earache, inflamed eye and now a bit of a sore throat.....all on the right side.
Avatar n tn after a blood test my doctor upped my dosages from 88mcg of Synthroid to 175 mcg Levithyroxine. The pharmacy questioned the large increase and called him to verify the dosgage he confirmed. He also raised my other thyroid medication from 30mcg of Armour Thyroid to 20 mcg of Liothyroxine because they are not producing Armour Thyroid any longer. I have been on this new dosage for a month and a half. I have been noticing my heart racing, skipping a beat, hot, sweaty, gittery.

Avatar n tn Hi, The golden rule is unless recommended by a doctor, do not take supplements, get the necessary nutrients directly from food only. Supplementation can very often overdose your body with vitamins and minerals, which can adversely affect. In your case, stop if possible, the supplements for few days and see if the symptoms go away, if so, do not take them, orelse, talk to your doctor about the symptoms.

Avatar m tn Good post sandman,in my opinion ujujujuj this is exactly why these drugs should not be given out to children simply for the reason of helping them concentrate ..What are doctors thinking ..
Avatar f tn Usually we do not change from Synthroid to Cytomel alone. Typically if we are using Cytomel, it is in conjunction with Synthroid, for example if you're on 137 of Synthroid a dose change could have been Synthroid 100 along with Cytomel 5 twice daily.
Avatar n tn Also, the FDA issued a warning on this drug so be careful its very easy to overdose on it. Especially for children.
Avatar f tn She was found to be hypothyroid on the newborn screening, Thyroid scan for her showed normal thyroid. She was put on synthroid. She only takes 72.5 mcg and is now 13 years old. I have 4 other children. Twins that were found with high TSH, but retested and it was fine. My last 2 children also were high TSH and did not go normal and were placed on Synthroid. At age 3 my first child was taken off meds and her Levels went up so they put her back on it.
Avatar m tn don't we mothers who stayed in horrible marriages ever realize that we do it out of inadequacies in ourselves rather than for our children and that"s why _maybe_ our children became angry and estranged from us???
Avatar f tn old, she was on a medication (synthroid) for almost 3yrs now the result of her blood test were all normal until just recently when we have our annual ultrasound the result came out that she has a hypoechoic solid nodule on the right, last year it was not seen on the ultrasound, how come that despite her continuous medication still a nodule occur?
Avatar n tn Now her doctor has suggested that we put her on 25 mcg of synthroid to see if that helps even though he feels it is not hewr thyroid. all I know is when she started gaining the weight her attitude changed, had trouble reciteing her abc's, conting etc. er kindergarten teacher says that she is very imature ie: crying at school, won't do her work, procrastinating, etc. HELP!
