Levoxyl and having trouble sleeping

I recently had my Levoxyl dosage increased and it took about 8 weeks to feel the affect. Now I don't feel tired, but this week I am having trouble sleeping. I just had my level checked last week and it was 2.41 so it doesn't appear that I am getting too much at least as of last week.

Has anyone experienced this? Any advice on why this is happening and what to do would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Lisa

Hi Lisa,


Sleep problems can accompany thyroid conditions so possibly this is connected to your current level even though it seems to be in a good range.

In the past 8 weeks it has dropped from 4 something to 2.41. In addition to having trouble sleeping, I've also developed a bad headach and nervousness. I didn't take it today because I felt so bad yesterday. I called my doctor Friday, but no one called me back, but I will call tomorrow and see if the dosage should be lowered a little.
