Sleepy After I Take My Dose.

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?
