New Medication

Everyone knows how much I enjoy taking more medication. I started the synthroid for the Hypothryroidism yesterday. Some of the side effects for this med are: headache, nervousness, trembling, sweating, increased appetite, diarrhea, weight loss and insomnia. The rare side effect for this med is some hair loss but it is only during the first few months of starting it.

Just because I can't possibly start a new medication without having some type of side effect, I have a few that I hope will clear up before the weekend ends.

The side effects that I am having are: insomnia (I slept 1 1/2 hours last night) and nervousness (I feel like I'm going to jump out of my skin most of the day). I have had some trembling in the upper part of my body. I'm going to try to wait these out since I've only taken the synthroid for 2 days.

I don't think I could go for a long period of time without getting much sleep right now. I've done that before when I wasn't so stressed out and I couldn't stand it.
