Hi,
You should have directly visited a hospital emergency and got your stomach washed so that drug could have been removed.
Now its to late the drug would be absorbed partly and and would have gone ahead of stomach so no use.
You can face symptoms like anxiety,chest pain, pounding heartbeat, tremor, shortness of breath, leg cramps, confusion, vomiting, diarrhea, or seizures.
If you face any of these you should visit an emergency,however they would have come by now but still get a tsh done cause it might have randomly come down which should not have come down so rapidly and you might be lowered with your dose of thyronorm.
Hair loss in your age is usually hormonal,infective,stress related -many girls face hair loss just after delivery and they get better after a few months normally that is hormonal.
However that can be related to thyroid also,this can be told only after examining you and getting you tested.
For now concentrate on thyroid and get your self tested for tsh and visit an emergency as soon as possible.
You can have plenty of micronutrients,may be if they are deficient your hair loss stops.
Do you have dandruff or may be any other problem in your scalp ?
