In reply to MISTAKENLY TAKEN TOO MUCH THROXINE, posted by garry on November 7, 2007, at 1:01:36
I don't know much about thyroxine but I do know that taking more than needed will cause those nasty symptoms of anxiety, racing heart, fatigue, and overall feeling like crap.... but that should be temporary since you are back to your normal dose.
Sounds like you might be going through slight withdrawals from the lorazepam and adjusting to the side effects of the zoloft. Zoloft gave me horrible anxiety attacks, I didn't last more than 2 weeks on the stuff.What I would do if I was in your shoes... is tell my doc that until I get readjusted to the thyroxine and zoloft, I WANT to continue taking lorazepam, and eventually wean off. That's what I would do, I know it's hard to function when starting new meds, and when you feel so bad. The doctor knows best, but then again s/he is NOT in your shoes and does not feel the pain you feel. Don't be afraid to tell your doctor how crappy your feeling, make it VERY clear so he listens and re-evaluates your meds/plans.
Good luck!!!
