View allI'm a bit worried because my TSH level has gone up to 7.8, although my T3 and T4 are still within the normal range. About two months ago, I missed my menopause, so I started taking some medication, and it seems to have worked this month. A blood test I did a month ago showed my TSH was 5.7, and now it's increased.

I'm really worried because someone I know took about 5 or 6 tablets of thyronorm 25 mcg all at once. Are there any side effects from doing this? What should we do now?
Taking 5 to 6 tablets of Thyronorm 25 mcg at a time can lead to an overdose of levothyroxine, which is the active ingredient in Thyronorm. Symptoms of an overdose may include chest pain, increased heart rate, palpitations, excessive sweating, heat intolerance, nervousness, headache, insomnia, and weight loss. If someone has taken an overdose of Thyronorm, they should seek immediate medical attention. The treatment for an overdose may involve reducing the dose of Thyronorm or temporarily stopping the medication until symptoms improve. It is important to never take more than the prescribed dose of Thyronorm and to always follow your healthcare provider's instructions.

I've been diagnosed with hypothyroidism and am struggling with the treatment. I've tried a few different brands of thyroid medication, but they all seem to give me headaches, make me gassy, burp a lot, and I just feel restless. It's really hard to deal with. Even when I try taking other supplements, I get the same symptoms. I've also noticed I can't drink tea or coffee or eat mutton anymore. My TSH level is at 150, and I've stopped taking the medication. What should I do?
