It can take six weeks for a med change to reach it's full potential. It may or may not take that long for your TSH to drop closer to one.
The symptoms will hang on a while after your TSH drops.
Patience is a virtue. :)
I know it's not funny, and it's not good news, but it is going to take a while.
Sorry.
Hope you feel a bit better very soon.
I'm hoping to start back on my Synthroid tomorrow.
I feel like total doo-doo.
Misery loves company??
I guess I would starve as a comedien. :(
it just seems to take so long and after a while you just want to scream. Ok i am done yelling your turn. i will just wait... for another couple of weeks and see.
I was on 50 mcg Synthroid for 6 weeks and I felt better, but not completely. 2 weeks later (8 weeks) and I was almost great. 2 more weeks and another symptom has seemingly resolved. Give it at least 8 weeks on a certain dose and maybe longer.
Hang in there.
