I have went the last two days and forgot to take my night dose of Meth. I take 20mg. bid. This morning I felt so much better, is it to early to tell if that has been to much or am I just in luck and having a good day. I feel so good this morning I'm cleaning my carpet. Anybody need their carpet cleaned?.....lol

Its hard to say...when I was mildly hyper I could break eggs with a stick...my energy went on forever. Labs accompanied with symptoms is the only way to tell where you truly are at...Big Hugs...Kathy

Your last labs showed you very low with the Free Ts, so likely skipping the doses helped to get your thyroid levels up a bit, I am sure.

Do you have your latest lab results yet?

The nurse called and said that Dr. Casals would call between 5 and 7:30pm tonight. Will post when they come in.

I would call that..your forgetting a dose and feeling the results, a happy accident.

You can start too see what a difference the size of the daily dose can make..

and now you have felt how much better you can feel when not over dosed.

Yes Snippy,I think you don't need this big a dose at ALL. You might have antibodies for Hashi's and went hypo real fast. I would suggest to the doc (if levels are still low like they've been) that you stop it for a week, then get back on at a much lower dose and then see where you are in 4 weeks after that. Hope you feel better not taking it for now!
