Default How long.....

How long once Synthroid is started do you start to feel better? I started a few days ago. The Pharmacist who I spoke to made it sound like it would happen the first time I took it and I haven't noticed any thing yet. In fact I seem more tired than usual, if that is even possible.
So I'd just like to know how long from other experiences it will take to take effect.

If you're just starting a new thyroid supplement regime, you're not going to feel instant results. Thyroid hormones take a while for the body to "accept" (so to speak), process, and metabolize. It sounds like you've got some catching up to do- a single dose is not going to suddenly satisfy your body's need for a hormone that's been in short supply for a while. As far as the fatigue is concerned, your body is adjusting to a new medication, so it should go away in a reasonable amount of time- at least it did with me and a couple of my lady friends.

That being said, when you've been on your regime for a while and go a day or two without your pills, you WILL feel results fairly quickly upon taking a dose.

I started mine a couple of weeks ago and I felt better after the first week.

I started a month ago and I'm starting to feel more energetic, a little less cold, and have lost about 3 pounds (I'm in a normal weight range with a probable combo of PCOS and Hashi's, so that weight would have been pretty tough to lose otherwise)
