I have been taking 44 mgs of synthroid for a week now.I immediatly felt like I had more energy.But now I think I have a littleLittle noses decongestant Little tummys to much enegy.I feel like the energizer bunny and can't fall aslepp until 11 or 12 vs/ usual for me is 9 or 10.Have any of you experienced this??
It is 1/2 of 88 then. Still, maybe start off on 25 mcg or even 12.5 and go slow. I started at 25 mcg and am glad I did. Now up to 50, and probably going up tp 62.5 (1/2 of 125 mcg).
It's not worth the anxiety of wondering what could happen at a higher dose. Go slow.
The usual doses are 25 mcg, 50 mcg, 75 mcg. 88 mcg. Are you taking 1/2 of an 88 mcg to equal 44?
Do you feel bad, or just need less sleep? You could ask doctor to try 25 mcg first and then retest 6 weeks later.
Glad you feel better, but you don't want to be hyper.
