Thyroid: Sorry you got overdosed. I hope you are not having rapid heart beat and fevers. The half life of thyroid medication is 2 to 7 days. That means if you stop the medicine today your serum level will be 1/2 it is now in 2 to 7 days, Extra fluids OK, but the broccoli might actually slow liver metabolism. If heart racing see your doctor.
