Which meds more apt to cause over excitation?
by Still_Hoping, Aug 26, 2005 12:00AM
Just wondering which meds (brands) if any are more/less apt to cause side fx and/or over-excitation (palps etc) upon treatment initiation and as treatment goes onward? Thanks in advance. I just started the 50 mcg of Synthroid today and 9 hours into it my heart is 'thumping' not tachy..but palps/thumps. I am not sure if it could be from the med so quick or not. So it just got me to thinking about meds in general. I prefer really to request a med with the least amount of difficulty to adjust to!
Armour, thyrolar and cytomel all have T3 and therefore more likely to cause over-stimulation.
