    Well, my endo upped my Tapazole dosage from 20 mg/day
    to 25 mg/day. If you remember, I have been feeling
    horrible again for a little over a week (like I felt
    before I started anti-thyroid meds). Today I felt
    much better. Could an increase of 5 mg really make
    that much difference on the first day of the increased
    dosage or do you think it is purely a mental thing?

    OK, so I am replying to my own message. I have
    been on the 5 mg increase of Tapazole now for 4 days
    and all I can say is that it is now making me feel
    more sluggish, I feel sleep deprived (even though
    I get 8 hours a night)…it is the complete opposite
    of how I felt last week with my pre-med symptoms.
    HELP!!!! I am having such a hard time reading
    my body and deciding if it is the meds talking or
    just my completely stressful life as it is. I
    suppose I should say something to my endo…

    I changed meds 7 wks ago to the natural thyroid. My TSH in Aug. was 2.9
    5 days ago it was 0.03. My question is if you have TED and it is getting
    better,will this make it flare up again?
    p.s. my endo decressed my dosage

    Call a pharmacist for help. They can try to make the translation. But I suspect that there might be some difficulty. And make an appointment for bloodwork so that your doctor will write you the Rx you need.
