Sleepy After I Take My Dose. (Top voted first)

I'm 30 years old and this is my third day on 0.1 MG of Levo. It was given to me becuase my TSH is 5.8.

I'm a very active person I run 30 miles a week and swim 3 times week 20 laps each time. I've always been between 115-125lbs. I like to be at the lower end of that (I'm 5'0) but I find it hard to stick to strict diets, I've always been very hungry. I also tend to be depressed, and have had very painful, periods. So I hope Levo will help me with these things.

I take the dose in the morning and then, about 15 min later I just want to go to sleep. This is the only thing the drug has done so far-- I feel find otherwise-- but why is it making me so sleepy? Anyone else have this? It only lasts for about two hours.

Is this a sign that I don't have the right dose?

This issue has gone away after the first week of taking the drug-- I think I'm adjusting to it more now.

I am glad to hear that, the drowsiness could have been caused by the medication, the condition itself or a combination of both.

However, they usually do start to taper off and ease as your body adjusts to the medication.

Do you have any other questions?
