Signs of Synthroid overdose and signs you are taking too much thyroid medication.

Are you taking too much Synthroid? Synthroid is the most commonly prescribed medication in the US which means that millions of people are taking this medicine.

Of those millions, there will always be a small percentage who are either taking too much or too little. We are going to focus on those people who are taking too much.

Symptoms of taking too much Synthroid include...

Common but less serious side effects:

Increased hair loss
Weight loss (sometimes but not always)
Tremors in the extremities
Jittery sensation
Heart palpitations
Anxiety
Flushing of the skin
Heat intolerance (not able to stand hot environments)

Rare, but serious side effects of Synthroid overdose include:

Osteoporosis or decreased bone density
Heart enlargement
Atrial fibrillation
Chest pain
Shortness of breath
*If you experience any of these symptoms you should seek medical care as soon as possible.

If you are experiencing any of these side effects then you can check your blood work to confirm that you are indeed taking too much.

If you are you will most likely see the following changes:

- Suppressed TSH (sometimes a low TSH)
- High free T4
- High free T3 (sometimes)

These, in combination with the symptoms listed above, are signs that you are taking too much thyroid medication.
