help!
So I have to take 75 mcg of levothyroxine everyday. I usually set my alarm to take it every morning. Well this morning I was so tired when I woke up that I cannot remember if I took it or not. I have a pill organizer thing but I forgot to put the pills In it for the week. Since I can't remember if I took it or not I decided not to take it today in case i did take it. Will this cause a problem? My dr is closed until Monday and I'm feeling really stressed out about it.

No help.
But, call the on call nurse or doc at the hospital.
Here's a bump for you.

I don't think it will do any harm. Thyroid hormones get built up in your system over time so missing one pill won't change much but usually if you did realize you forgot to take it you would take it that moment you forget. Of course call your doctor to let them know but I wouldn't stress too much over just one dose missed. I'm sure I've done it before too without even realizing ?

You're ok mama! My daughter has congenital hypothyroidism and we have been told if we ever miss a dose to skip altogether and make sure she has it at her normal time the next day. And you're fortunate 75mcg is a small amount to take. So your accumulative amount won't be greatly affected by missing one. Hope you get back on schedule quickly! Have a great day!!!
