Help with half life

Posted , 2 users are following.

Hi! I've been taking 90 mcq. of compounded levothyroxine 4 about a month. For the past 5 days I've reduced the dose 2 88 mcq. as I felt I was getting way 2 much thyroid meds. Now I'm totally confused to what the half life is and how to calculate how my levothyroxine I'm actually getting as I'm feeling absolutely horrible with chronic insomnia, adrenaline surges, anxiety/panic attacks, depersonalization/derealization etc. Can anybody please help me with this as I'm going out of my mind with the ongoing lack of sleep.

I'm also suffering at the present time with severe protracted withdrawal from psych meds which I should never have been on and know that this could also be affecting the thyroid meds. I was on Gabapentin (for 14 years off for 4 years), Zoplicone (on for 7 months off for 4 years), Seroquel (on for about 3 /2 years off for 3 1/2 years) and Remeron (on for 14 years off for 28 months). I don't know what is doing what at the present time but I would really like some help with figuring out just how much thyroid meds I'm actually getting. Thank u.
