A member asked:
Doc just raised my synthroid (thyroxine) dosage. 1st day pins and needles, itchy feeling all over. normal side effect? will it subside?

Not side effect: What you are feeling has nothing to do with your synthroid (thyroxine). Synthroid (thyroxine) takes 4-6 weeks to reach a new steady state when you change doses, do nothing happens in one day. Relax.
