Hello,
I read carefully your concerns and understood your query.
The dose you have taken is considered low and in case of symptoms of over dosage ( high heart rate, anxiety, sweating ect) the dose is lowered to 25 mcg rather than stopped.
It the FT4 and Ft3 resulted within the normal ranges than it is not considered over dosage but intolerance and lasts a couple of weeks up to 1 months.
So i would suggest to lower the dose and wait some weeks.
Best wishes,
Dr.Mirjeta
