double dosed Armour thyroid--what to do?

[Shep1999]

I just realized I took my regular dose of Armour thyroid medication at 4:30 a.m. as usual, then took another one when I got up at 8, because I'd forgotten I'd taken the first. I'd just refilled the pill case, and I had at 4:30 taken the dose for the wrong day.

I'm worried--waiting for an "on call" doctor to call back. I'm drinking coffee with milk to try to absorb the second dose--couldn't throw it up. What should I do?

Yes.  Have a look at goolarra's post from 5/25.

what would the extra dose do? I too took my meds 2x by mistake... 45mg 2x and felt great! could that happen?

Thanks, and you're right: all is well.

Taking one extra dose isn't going to hurt you.  You might feel the effects of the extra T3 for a few hours, but that's going to be out of your system soon.  Relax...it's not like swallowing poison.
