had a fit since i started taking levothyroxine.

[matt_adams88]

hi all, hoping for some advice, maybe someone has had a similar experience to me and can offer some advice.

i had been fit free for 10 years and lead a good lifestyle,rarely drink,quitting smoking,cook all food from scratch,walk alot, spend time outside.

about a year ago i had a blood test and a borderline under-active thyroid was picked up.

i was given levothyroxine to take but didn't complete the course due to no feeling well taking them, fast forward a year and i started taking them again,a week and a half into the course and i suffered my first in a decade.

i am hearing that there are links between taking anti convulsant tablets and levothyroxine and it resulting in seizures.

my issue is it seems i was issued these tablets rather randomly without much research being done into the potential effects on my epilepsy.

my issue is i now cant work as my job involved me driving and i have no income.

any help is greatly appreciated

cheers

Matt.

When it comes to medications, I always ebb on the side of caution. Therefore I suggest that the only person who you should contact is your doctor.

Here’s wishing you well.
