>> I think this was already answered but no, I don't think you screwed up your thyroid. Even if some of your own thyroid production was suppressed a little bit it should go back to normal soon. The same thing happened to me when I took too much T3 - racing heart, sweating, etc. It went away as soon as I reduced the dose. I don't remember being fatigued then but I did need a few days to get used to each new dose.

> JaneThank you, Jane for *again* reassuring me. Half a pill or 2.5 mcgs so far doesn't seem to be doing much. And my pdoc said I could easily go back to 5 mcgs based on my lab results...T3 is 63, range is 60-170; T4 is .7, range is .7 to 1.8; and TSH is 0.58, range .3 to 5.0.
I am not sure exactly what these values mean. But my pdoc said my T3 is "definitely not too high." I do know that the lower the TSH, the more hyper-thyroid one is. Isn't 0.58 on the *hyper* side? If anyone feels like explain what these mean, I would be all ears! Thanks everyone for all your info and support. This thyroid stuff is so new to me...
Yours,
Chloe
