... did you start feeling "better"?


I started 25mcg daily of Synthryoid last week. I'm just wondering when I'll start to feel some changes. I already feel like I do, but I think that's mental/wishful thinking. ;)

It usually takes about 6 weeks for you to start feeling better. They should test you after 6 weeks to see if the meds are at the correct dose. Hang in there, I promise it gets better.

Hi Denielle-
In my case, November it will be a year that they are trying to get my dosage adjusted. Started off at 88mcg synthroid, down to 75, then 50, then had me do 25 now up to 50! I am very frustrated and I am sure I still need an adjustment, as I am wiped, but have other things like PCOS to deal with and age too (45)- Sorry I couldn't be of any help, but can relate to everyone!
