How Long Does It Take Synthroid To Work?

I have been taking Synthroid for about a year now. I started at 25 mcg and am now taking 175 mcg. My problem is, I still have racing pulse and headaches, they were infrequent, but have become more frequent in the past week or so. I also have sweat episodes. I take Tylenol pm to help me sleep, could this affect the Synthroid. Generally I just feel ill and nauseous with racing pulse for the past week or so. I would appreciate any feedback. Thank you.

You might want to talk to your Doc about taking a different type of medication like Westhroid or Naturthroid these are the natural types of thyroid meds that work very well for some people. Remember some medicine that works well for some people don't always work well for others, if the medicine ur taking is not working for u then its time to change to another one.

I just started taking Synthroid this morning. Based on what my endo said to me just yesterday, it sounds like your dose might be too high. Though she started me on a low dose, she told me to call her immediately if I start getting palpitations.

That's a high dose. Make sure you take it in the morning so it keeps you alert during the day. Keep checking your blood for balance as it's not unusual to have fluctuating levels. I have nodules on my thyroid and flare ups happen where my dose needs to be increased or decreased.

Tylenol could very well be the problem as you are taking synthroid which has been linked to slower liver function, taking tylenol has serious effects on the liver as well

Your dose is too high and the symptoms you're having is the result of that. My thyroid was removed due to overactive thyroid caused by Grave's disease and those were my symptoms of too much hormone.

Has anyone taken Thyroid Np, and also Naturthroid? What is the difference? I take Thyroid NP and it stinks so bad. I hate it. My Doctor just ordered Naturthroid for me and put "no substitutions". And the pharmacist told me that I'll just get the same one because their both derived from pig! I said I don't want that and she said it's what he ordered, pig!? Help me someone...
