What Causes Weakness, Nervousness, Sweating And Insomnia While On Liothyronine?
It seems that I am reacting to the pill Liothyronine that I have been taking for 5or six week very nervous hot and sweating and can t sleep thru the night have put in call to my endochronologist but probably won t hear from him until tomorrow. Can it hurt if I do not take the 5MCG pill tomorrow morning?
Good Day-This is a pill that you do not abruptly discontinue without proper assessment including a physical exam, labs and then a decision is made on whether dose adjustment is needed. If a dose adjustment is needed it will usually be made slowly unless a rapid change is called for under unusual circumstances. A slower absorption can be induced if you eat immediately after you take the pill (hint). Good luck to you!Kathy Shattler, MS,RDN
