Feeling kinda "hyperactive" at nights after dose increment

Hi, all.

I am moving forward to the dose increment. For my personal experience
with the treatment process, I feel kinda "stimulated"/"hyperactive" at
nights, ideas run fast in the brain. It is interesting that whenever I
am at the early stage of dose increment days, I feel energetic at nights
other than mornings or afternoons. I am thinking if that is because I
have long term of untreated thyroid (TSH is more than 30mU/L before
treatment), and the body is responding the adjustment of hormone to a
new psychological and physiological state. Do anyone have
thoughts/experience on it? would it indicate the adrenal problem?

Further more, I always wake up early at 5 am in the morning, sometimes I
fell asleep again, sometimes not. What's wrong? Does it indicate the
adrenal problems?

Thanks all in advance!

Hi, you have problem of early waking, too? I usually wake up at about 5 am, and after one hour, I fall asleep again, are you sure that is a problem of high dose?

What is your dose right now, medical books said it needs 3 to 4 months to get to an optimal dose, why you don't achieve that after 10 months?

Sounds to me like your dose is too high. How often do you change the increments? If it is too often you may well be in a hyperthyroid state. It takes about 6 weeks for the medication to really be noticeable.
I have this problem too, but my dosage is still not suiting me after 10 months! So I can sympathise with you on the restless nights and early waking.
Cheers.
