What dietary supplement did you take? It may have more to do with the actual ingredients in the supplement, and not as much related to your thyroid removal. Many dietary supplements or weight-loss pills also have ingredients that can severely interact with your current medications (such as synthroid).
I am so glad to hear that you called your doctor right away with your symtpoms, and I think this is an important reminder to women to check with their doctor or pharmacist before taking a new medication, supplement (whether "natural" or "healthy" or "herbal" or not), as many of these ingredients can interact with your current medications.
I hope to hear back from you, regarding what type of dietary supplement you took, and what type of active (and inactive) ingredients it contains.
