My doctor put me on synthroid 50mg a week ago and I have trouble sleeping? I have great difficulty sleeping, and I get a headache every day. If I have no headaches, at least my head feels very heavy.
Can synthroid be the cause?
Synthroid will usually take several weeks for a person to feel a change. There are side effects of Synthroid and headaches and insomnia are two of them. If this continues, you should inform your doctor.
Yes. It may well be part of your problem, I too took Synthroid for a short period and before I knew I could not sleep for more than a few minutes at a time. After reviewing this issue with my doctor, he took away from synthroid and replaced with levothyroxine, a generic source of the drug, which also makes it less expensive. So the dosage of your medication can be a little more as you have your doctor look into that other drug. When you extract synthroid online, you may also find that, after forty years of using the FDA did not approve. Because the formula continues to change. Much luck and best wishes to the present. But I warn you that you do not wait too long to check with your doctoral. losing sleep is very dangerous.
I take synthroid for hypothyroidism, but I have a bit of a larger dose than you, because IVE years.
But recently, I had headaches, and sleep i DONT essentially all.
I think my problem is that I havent changed my dosage from time to time so that I can take the wrong amount.
Because you have just received the medication a week ago, so its probably your body getting used to it, and it may even be too much or too little dosage.
Usually doctors cannot be sure exactly how much you need, so that they start small and make sure you frequently, which increases until the levels are normal.
I would say that Synthroid is at least partially at fault, but you can have something else happens too.
Yes. An overdose of synthroid causes hyperthyroidism. Insomnia is a symptom of hyperthyroidism.
