A member asked:
What will happen if i up my eltroxin dosage to 0.2mg instead of the 0.1mg i have been on for 8 years. i am always tired, hair loss etc. while on 1mg?

Can become hyper: If your thyroid levels are right on 0.1 mg, then 0.2 mg will be definitely too much. It can make you slightly thyrotoxic. This can cause a racing heart, insomnia, anxiety, tremor and, yes, hair loss.
