How Long Does The Body Take To Get Adjusted To New Dosage Of Synthyroid?
Thank you for your time, truly appreciate this!! I ve been on Synthroid 125 for 6ish years now and asymptomatic. Just had blood test and my levels were a bit low so my Dr. decreased to 112 for 3 months then repeat labs. I m very symptomatic now and he will not do anything about it other than refer me out. He s been in trouble in the past and I believe is too afraid to treat and explain thing to his pts. I m a very active nurse, working out daily and enjoying my work although these past 2 weeks have been a big change. Hoe long does it take to adjust to a new dose? Please advise ASAP, thank you

Hello,
As per my clinical experience, the body gets adjusted to new dose of Synthroid within couple of days and max of a week period. If there is persistent symptoms beyond this period, one has to consider auto immune response and panel of evaluation needed.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
