Most people who complained just said it felt like they weren't taking any thyroid meds at all, the same extreme tiredness and brain fog that they had for years before being diagnosed.
I know the last time I got my script the pills were tiny. I took them for a couple weeks then noticed the bottle said 30mg take two. My normal dosage is 60.
That's one of the strengths the company is having a problem keeping in stock.

Anyway I've beenthe the above symptoms, and I have them now. It happens this time of a day, sometimes, not always.
What is "this time of day"? If it's morning, before you had anything substantial to eat, it just might be low blood sugar. Instead of eating some fruit then holding breakfast until you get to work, try having your oats before you leave and cut back on the fruits a bit.
But this high uncohearent is strange.
I've had brain fog off and on, complete with slurred speech at times, for over 25 years now when my sugars are low. Whenever my BP was low I would just feel a bit lightheaded if I stood up too fast, never really brain fog. But remember, everyone is different. Do I remember correctly that you have a BP machine at home? If so, start keeping a log again and see what changes are occuring at different times of the day and after various activities. If the BP stays the same, then look into the blood sugars.
