Dosage change
| Tue, 01-17-2006 - 7:36pm |
I went in for my 6 week thyroid test. I've been taking 25mg Levoxyl. My levels were a little higher than they were the last time; so she upped the dose to 50mg and recheck in 8 weeks.
I knew I would have to up the dose as all my pre-med symptoms came back. Including a 6 pound weight gain!!

Hi Dana,
It's nice to see the happy face icon on your post.
I have a wonderful dr. When I first went in November; I told her my symptoms(didn't even mention the weight gain at first)and she said "thyroid"
I had nerve pain in my feet, numbness and tingling in my hands, unusually dry skin on my elbows and a few other things that I had no idea could be related to thyroid.
I had about 3 good weeks, but symptoms started coming back a couple of weeks ago.
I'm hoping the new dosage kicks in quick.
