Could Drowsiness And Fatigue Be Due To Over Dosage Of Synthyroid?
I often have a full head sensation with drowsiness and fatigue. It usually starts an hour after waking. Some days it is worse than others Some days it will last all day and other days it will come and go I had a thryoidectomy ten years ago or thyroid cancer I feel over medicated I have been on synthroid doses 175, 187, & 200. Even tried armour. My doctor insists something else is causing symptoms but agreed to lower dose from 175 to 150 six days ago Am feeling a bit better.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern the symptoms that you have nothing to do anything with thyroid condition or medicine taken for that, but it could be nonspecific type of pain some time it may be due to stress, at the most endocrine function test can be thought (Plasma Blood sugar) you have not mentioned age and gender here else something else could have been thought hope this information helps.
