Thyroid Medication

What happens if I skip a dose of synthroid for one day? I can't remember if I took it and I don't want to double take if I did. Will I feel any different?

If it is T4 type med like Synthroid, etc. then you might notice a slight effect, but not a big deal.  T4 meds react much more slowly than those containing T3.  If your med contains T3, then you might have noticed being a bit more tired than usual until your next dose kicks in.

For either case, I would not double up on your dose.  Doubling the dosage could cause a short term hyper reaction.
