Anxiety
by Jo_Stafford, Mar 26, 2009 06:25AM
Hello, I have Hashi's disease and have been on 50mg T4 and 20mg T3 for a while but now my Endo has said (with the use of blood tests) I have been taking too much T3 and not enough T4. I have now changed meds and I am on 75mg T4 and 10mg T3. I have now started getting anxiety attacks and not sleeping very well. I don't know why this is, can anyone tell me if increasing the T4 would give me anxiety attacks? My last blood test revealed I have low free T4 but high free T3 that why he tweaked my meds. My TSH was 0.8. Will this initial anxiety stage calm down?
Many thanks
Jo

Once the T4 starts to stabalise and the T3 come down a bit, the anxiety will subside.
He did have you on a pretty high dose of T3.
Normally the dosage is 5-10mg daily with 75mcg T4 med.
Thats probably what he shouldve started you on at the beginning as T4 converts into T3.
The anxiety will settle in the next week or so most probably.
Good Luck :)
