I was going Hyper and I do not want to do that again. I go hyper with Hypo symtoms...except I had terrible anxiety. I suggested to her that I take 112 Synthroid and drop the Cytomel to 10 but she said to wait out the new dose. I just can't any longer. It's two weeks and I feel terrible. I'm having bathroom issues and feel sick. My nerve pain is coming back. Im tired and do not feel right. Thanks for your help. The extra 5 helps I can feel it within a few hours. Should I tell her what I am doing or search for a new doctor? She also didn't check the free t3 and that upsets me! I have been going through this for over a year and it's terrible!
