Hey Vonnie, you know I dont know much about synthroid, and we've talked long and often about the xanax. I just want you to know that you're missed here, and loved by many, esp by me. (Nicki says, "Me too, Aunt Vonnie!) That's my daughter, for those who dont know the name! Everyone misses you, but we all understand what a bad time is like, and we are just glad you are on the road to recovery. Just remember to not press the issues, take it one day at a time, step by step. We are all here for you, praying for you, but most of all we all LOVE you! And I made everyone a promise not to do anything stupid again, or I'd line up everyone and they'd get to take a good swift kick to my backsides! And I'll even give you first shot, ok? LOL Just get better, darlin, cuz I sure do miss you bein around here! I'll be in touch soon! My guardian angel is watching over you now!
Love, Hugs, and Peace,
Tee

Hi Von,
I recently told my Dr that I was feeling tired more so than usual, so she did some blood work . Turns out she need to up my dose from 50 to 75 also. It's been about 2 weeks since I've been taking to higher dose and find that I am starting to see results and have not been as tired. So try giving it a couple of weeks and see how things go. I'm also on a similar drug as xanax, (clonazepam). I'm supposed to take it 4x a day but find that it makes me very tired so I try not to take it unless absolutely necessary. One in the morning so I can start the day with little anxiety, and one at night to sleep. I'm not sure how long you've been taking your new dosage for now, but give it a week or two..and you should start to see results... hope this was of some help to you. Stay well and hope your feeling better soon.. :)

Dear Von- it takes as long as 3 months for synthyroid or thyroid extract to fully work, and then it might still be too little or too much. A good doctor will do a TSH-thyroid test about 2 months after you start taking a thyroid supplement or the suppliment dosage is changed. If you can't get the xanax dosage reduced, I'd take some caffiene. I don't know if you can drink coffee, but a couple of cups will work. People expect the coffee to work immediately, but it takes about 2-3 hours for the caffiene to kick in. A way to get an immediate boost is old fashioned sugar. Thats the secret of the energy drinks- sugar and caffiene.
