Not normal, I second Blue Star's recommendation! If you are very uncomfortable, call your prescriber about adjusting the dose of the liothyronine down until you can come in for bloodwork.


The philosophic approach of naturopathic physicians to their patients is fundamentally different from the approach of conventional medicine.

Its possible you are taking more liothyronine than you need. I recommend you return to your prescriber and get your TSH, Free T4 and Free T3 checked.

Your body is experiencing a detox from being over-medicated. It is difficult to say if this is normal. The way your body detoxifies relates to your uniqueness: genetically, lifestyle, past operations, medications etc. I recommend that you take a mop-up detoxifier. I could recommend the best one for you and you should be monitored when taking it.
