Hi,

I've been on 50mg Levothyroxine for absolutely ages. After recent blood results it's now been put up to 75mg.

Since the increase in dosage I have experienced head zaps/dizziness/ increased anxiety and bit tearful! Has anyone else experienced this when increasing dosage? Could be unrelated but seems a coincidence Confused

Thanks

Might it be that the dose has been increased to combat your symptoms?

I had this when my dosage was increased from 100 to 125, also felt like my heart was racing. I now take 125 5 days and 100 2 days a week and the symptoms have gone away.
Just to add I did this on the advice of my gp, I haven't amended my dose myself
