Symptoms of over medicated levothyroxine?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Evans Prieston answered

Specializes in Pharmacology

Levothyroxine Excess: You didn't mention the dose you were taking and the number of tablets you had over medicated with so it's difficult to project if you have a dangerous situation going on. The usual signs and symptoms of thyroid toxicity are a racing heart where it feels like it's throbbing, nervousness, intolerance to heat, increase in blood pressure, insomnia, and irritability.
