I am continuing my tapering journey off Florinef. (week 2 three more to go)
So far, I am overcoming some of the bumps in the road. The moodiness is gone, One of my ankles is in the process of unswelling, other than a little lightheaded, I am pretty good.


I have a question about what going off the florinef might do to the thyroid medication. I am very sleepy early in the day. Could fall asleep sitting up and then when it is time to go to bed, can't sleep.
Do you think that has messed with it. I am thinking Dr may not do anything until I am completely off. Just wondering.:confused:

Hi Kmatthew,

Please remember that if the lightheadedness continues and/or gets to be a problem, to try the licorice root (non-deglycyrrhizinated! i.e. has glycyrrhizin) supplement I noted on your thread a couple of weeks ago. And take your BP regularly, same time-of-day and posture, for comparison's sake.

Enjoy the de-swelling!

Just wish the deswelling would bring some weight loss.
