Starting on meds--feel funny

Hi all--

This is my first time posting on this board. I was just diagnosed with postpartum thyroiditis and I have been taking levothyroxine 50mcg for a few days now. I notice that I feel a little jittery and dizzy and out-of-it. Is this normal when starting these meds, or should I call my doctor??

Thanks for any advice....

Hi Lyndsie - welcome!! I think you should give your doctor a call. It sounds like that be too high a dose for you to start out on. Hope you feel better soon!! Cathy :)
