Hi All. This is pretty much a curiosity question because I HOPE it doesn’t happen often enough to matter. Still, I wonder….
My routine is to set my alarm for 6:00 a.m., take my Levothyroxine, and go back to sleep. Saturday I did that and stayed in bed till about 11:00 a.m. (not unusual for a weekend). Right away when I woke up I noticed I was feeling antsy, anxious, and depressed. Figured maybe I was just tired or bored or that it was just my “morning mood”. As the day wore on it didn’t get better and when I had to run an errand I was getting panicky driving (thought those days were behind me). I had a commitment Saturday night and went to it and felt pretty good for the first hour or two, but after that I crashed hard…… had to either start pumping coffee quickly or go find a place to lie down. When I got home that night and got ready for bed I went to put my Levo for the next morning in my pill case by the alarm clock and noticed there was one in there – I never took one Saturday!
Is it at all possible that I felt the effects of skipping that dose Saturday and that is what caused me to have a bad day and night? I know it has a long half-life and I probably shouldn’t have felt a difference but it seems more than coincidence.
Anyone have experience with missed doses and noticing it?
Sue
