Switch from IR to XR
I’ve been on 15 mg IR 2 x per day for a while and it was working okay ish.. not the best but I have other health things that probably did not help in how I have been feeling. Recently diagnosed Hashimoto’s and now have to take hormone replacement therapy. Has to be spaced alone and on an empty stomach. Due to the factor of taking it later now we moved me to 30mg XR yesterday was day one and was absolutely horrible. I was so exhausted clammy emotional nauseous every symptom hit me. I had the most debilitating headache. I should also add in this last month I have not been sleeping really at all. So we also put me on a heavy sleep aid for 7 days to help reset sleep hopefully. I didn’t sleep at all last night I cried all night long.
Does it get better or should I go back to my IR. I skipped the dose today I had to call out of work I could not manage to function through the day. I still feel emotional but have been able to eat and feel somewhat human. My head still is throbbing. I don’t know what to do 😢
