[goldengirls]

I have been back on Levoxyl after being off it for 8 months.I felt good at first but going in to my third week -not so good.I feel very tired,legs are wobbly and like jelly at times.I just feel blah and like passing out at times.Is it possible the dose is too high?My doctor put me on 88 mcg when I was previously on 75.tsh was over 26 but I hear it corrects pretty qiuickly when back on meds.Any input would be appreciated.I have skipped a dose already because I didnt get up early enough and am already 3 hours late.

Hi Bretbunch! I agree that my symptoms sound like I am still having hypothyroid issues.Thanks for the input.

It sounds like you are still experiencing hypo symptoms with what you have described.  I would not think that your dose is too high, but you will only know when you get blood tests.  It doesn't look like you are due for blood tests for another 3 weeks or so.  

I was over-medicated on Levoxyl and had totally different symptoms, that were hyperthyroid symptoms like breathing trouble, heart palpitations, fast heart rate, insomnia, anxiety.  These are very different from what you have described.  

In any case, if you are concerned about how you feel, I would call the doctors office to discuss your symptoms and see what they say.
