Overdoses of Syntroid
I was taking daily syntroid 100 mc. since July 2008. In January after my blood test Dr. gave me a new prescription In my last test the results was:
Thyroxine (T4) 14.8 (H) range 5.1-14.1
T3 Total 1.67 range 0.80-2.00
TSH <=0.06 range 0.30-5.49
ESR 44 (H) rango 0-20
ANTINUCLEAR ANTIBODIES (ANA) 75 (A) rango <7.5
ANTINUCLEAR ANTIBODIES TITER 1: 2560 (A) rango <1:40
I stared to feel very bad the last time, Headaches, pain,cramp and heavy leg, same time flush of dizzinis and just in this month august I had to go to the doctor for my rutine checking.
That above are the results.
Here was a high mistake, pharmacy change my medication from 100 mcg to 150 mcg.
I am overdosis.
MY QUESTION:
WHAT ARE THE CONSECUENCIAS FOR ME TO HAD TAKED OVERDOSIS OF SYNTROID ?
My diagnosis is thyroditis secundary to hypothyroditis, additionally, I am a "survivor" breast cancer. I was diagnosticated in 2001. Chemotherapy-Left radical mastectomy-radiation-chemotherapy-oral medication for 5 years.
Now I take syntroid and Boniva 150 mg.
WHAT ARE THE CONSECUENCIAS FOR ME TO THIS HIGH MISTAKE AS THE ABOVE RESULT?

Why on earth would your PHARMACY change your dosage??? I'm assuming that someone made a mistake?? Wow - that's a huge liability for them.......
Your TSH is very low, but since the T4 and T3 are total, rather than free, it's hard to say. Quite possibly, Tamra is right and you are in the hyper range. Contact your doctor as hyperthyroidism can be dangerous........
Contact your doctor and ask for Free T4 and Free T3 test AND a lower dose of synthroid. Again, I agree with Tamra - most doctors have samples and can give you some to get by for a few days.........

You're in the hyper range. Call your doctor or go to her ASAP and let her know what happened at the pharmacy. My doc gave me a sample of Synthroid to get me through a month until I could get to a pharmacy. Docs usually carry sample packs.
From what I've read, consequences vary by person. We are all different, but I don't suggest you take chances.
