Medicine Dose

Hey Y'all! I have a question. If your synthroid is increased or decreased, should you wait a few days before taking the new dose? (I have no thyroid) and am on Levothyroxine. I take generic. They had me on too much-headaches, heart palpitations, etc... We were doing a test run for a week to increase the Levothyroxine but decided that maybe we needed to lower it back. I was just curious. And no, I have not been back to doctor yet, I am going Thursday. But I was just wondering.

I have never heard of anybody stop taking Levothyroxine abruptly unless the side effects were so extreme. Normally people just go ahead and take the new dose when they are told. Don“t change anything until your doctor gives you the go ahead. Wait for his decision because he is the best judge in anything regards to your therapy.
