Is it normal to have side affects with dose increase for levothyroxine?

[Guest guest]

Hello its me again. I hope I am not outstaying my welcome only I have

just had a rough couple of days. My levothyroxine was increased from

25mcg to 50mcg a couple of weeks ago. I felt ok at first and did not

feel any different, but yesterday I woke up with vertigo and had to

take my prescribed cinnarizine tablets which I take for this. I felt

extremely whacked out all day and spent all afternoon asleep and then

again in the early evening, I just couldn't keep my eyes open. This

morning I have woken up with a 'killer' headache and taken my usual

anadin extra (at 6am) which usually works but hasn't touched it yet.

I always take my levothyroxine at 6am on an empty stomach. Is it safe

to take these other medications at the same time?

I am thinking that the higher doseage of levothyroxine is just starting

to kick in but is not agreeing with me?

I have got to take this for two months before I have the full works of

blood tests in the New Year... I've got lots to do with Xmas coming up

and I can't get through it feeling like this.

I would have thought that the higher doseage would have a more

beneficial effect if I was shown to be deficient but it seems that it

is not the case. I would welcome some reassurance here. Thanks. Gillian
