Insomnia, Palpatations, Irritability

I was diagnosed with under active thyroid last November and have had my dose of levothyroxine increased in 25 mcg increments over the last 8 months. I have been on 100mcg now for approx 2 - 3 months. I am no longer falling asleep at 8pm every night, and my hair, skin etc is much better, but I now have really bad insomnia. I can't get to sleep till the early hours of the morning, and am also suffering from heart palpatations, restlessness and generally have an inability to relax. Help!!!

The symptoms you are describing are actually warned about in the drug monograph, it could indicate that you are on too high of a dosage.

Have you spoken to your doctor about this?
