New dosage of Synthroid update ..

Upped from 88 to 100mcgs 2 days ago .. SO FAR SO GOOD .. only thing is nausea for about 6 hrs after taking it and then it goes away ... I will try with full glass of water tomorrow AM vs. coffee.

I usually feel funky side effects for about 10 days when increasing dosage and then usually subside.  Sometimes dizzy but not this time.

I know I know .. full 6 weeks LOL for peak effects!

My doc just upped me to 260mcgs not too long ago and the same thing happend.  Not having coffee helped me too.  I am ok now, I think it just takes some adjusting.

Gee I'm glad I don't get nausea. I just upped my meds from 150mg to 200mg going on alternate days. I'm still unsure if it is right thing. Time will tell I guess...
