A member asked:
Ive been overmedicated on synthroid (thyroxine). i've been on a lower dosage for 2.5 weeks and still have symptoms. when will i feel better?

May take time...: It all depends on how the levels of your thyroid hormone were at the time you had the medication adjustment. If the levels were significantly abnormal it may take a few weeks to feel completely "normal" again since this medication changes its distribution in your body at a very slow pace.However, if you start feeling worse make sure you see your doctor soon for check up.
