Total Thyroidectomy & Synthroid Dosage
by lilypad300, Sep 05, 2008 10:23AM
I know it's different for everyone, but what is the average dose of synthroid for people who have has a thyroidectomy?
My doctor started me off on .175 and then I had an anxiety attack the other day (see journal) today he said my numbers were good, but reduced me to .137 and gave me some .150 samples as well. He said to start on the .137 and if I felt sluggish to take the .150's . How will I know the difference between general fatigue and not enough synthroid. Would the .175 have caused my anxiety attack?
help!
thanks!

Unfortunately, it takes some people more time to find their correct dose - one where the numbers are where they want them, and more importantly - where you FEEL GOOD. Hopefully you find that spot real soon!
And yes, anxiety is common when you're hyper.
glad to hear that you're doing well on the .175.
I'm ready for all of this to level out!
be well!!

glad to hear that most of you are feeling great, even if it took some time to get there. patience is one of the big life lessons I'm learning on this journey.
