I’m curious if anyone else has experienced being overmedicated and what symptoms you had.
I’ve been struggling for the past month with severe anxiety, fatigue, dizziness, lightheadedness, and random pains in my head and eyes. It’s now been confirmed that I’ve been taking 25 mcg too much. Has anyone else dealt with something similar? I feel like I’m losing my mind. x
Overmedication can be incredibly frustrating and worrying. It’s great that you’ve identified the issue and that it’s being addressed. The symptoms you’re describing—severe anxiety, fatigue, dizziness, lightheadedness, and random pains—could definitely be related to being overmedicated, depending on the medication and how it affects your body.
It’s not uncommon for people to experience side effects like this if they’re taking too much of a medication, and it can sometimes take time for your body to adjust once the dosage is corrected. In my experience, people who have dealt with similar situations often describe a mix of physical symptoms (like dizziness and fatigue) and mental health symptoms (like anxiety and confusion), which sounds like what you’re experiencing.
It’s important to stay in close contact with your doctor to monitor your progress as you adjust the dosage. They might also want to check for any other underlying causes that could be contributing to your symptoms.
