Overmedicated??

[Angela1974]

My last tsh came back at 3.9 and i read somewhere that over 3 may be too high for some women. I asked the dr to up my meds to .125mg from .100 mg and I ahve been on it for about 4 weeks. I can't go without having a 2 hour nap every day and i get close to 10 hours a nite and i am still beat most of the time. I also get that falling asleep tingly feeling in my hands and feet quite easily. I am also finishing up a 10 day dose of amoxicillen for a throat infection. have I given myself enough time on this dose to test or should i keep at it for a while longer?

The tingly feeling in your hands and feet could be from low calcium or low B12.  Have you had either tested?

How are your adrenals?

Give it at least 2 more weeks before repeat TSH test and possibly 8 weeks or more to notice a difference.

You were right to request an increase. It is recommended to be around a TSH of 1-2 when you are on meds.
