Brands levothyroxine
Hi everyone, I've been taking Mercury Pharma levothyroxine for a long time but my pharmacy can't obtain it so have given me Teva. My last experience of that was not good. I know Teva wasn't well tolerated by some members so is there another brand I could try? Thanks for any help.

New Symptom or at least an exacerbation of an old one: pulsatile tinnitus.
Recently attempted another crack at taking T3 without too much success. In between times, can’t be absolutely sure exactly when, I have developed a new symptom I would like to check to see if anyone else has experienced similar. Two years ago after commencing with a new prescription of levo at 75mcg

Request for levo increase
Hi there. My friend has been on levo for a number of years after having a tumour on her thyroid removed. She’s got a history of depression (although this has been a more recent thing) and is always very tired, recently having days in bed with no energy. She is only on 50mg levo a day, so I have been

Still no joy from Doctor 🤦
After sending my private blood results to Dr refused to increase levo had phone appointment, kept insisting TSH suppressed & danger of osteoporosis. I tried to keep calm to explain my thoughts & where I'd research my information. Dr then asked which lab I'd used & where was it..... Quite upset/annoyed

Probiotic with Levothyroxine
I take my levothyroxine before bed, I’ve just read it’s more beneficial to take probiotics at night rather than in the morning. My question is would the probiotic interfere with my thyroid meds?

Since reduction of thyroid medication, previous cardio disturbances like jittery feeling, flutters, missing beats, ectopics and tachycardia have correspondingly reduced ... indeed almost disappeared. Any similar experiences known?

Dr Antony Toft Thyroid specialist re treating some patients with combi of T3 to their Levo can somebody send me the link please
Hi All, I have a GP call today on the back of a pretty scathing consultant F/u letter, with the aim to get me off NDT (agreed by previous Consultant) to raise my TSH by giving me a lower dose of Levo. An all too familiar story I know. That said this is a new GP who possibly knows very little about DIO2

Is anyone still having difficulty getting Wockhardt Levothyroxine?
As I glumly predicted, following allergic reactions to several brands of levothyroxine, my GP has flat out refused to reissue a prescription for Brillpharma liquid levothyroxine. Cost. To get it installed as a regular prescription will require me going back to the hospital allergy department and making
