Experiences with

Actavis levothyroxine

Hi all, I haven't posted for a while, but have looked at the posts to see if I could help.My problem is, I have not been right on my levothyroxine since Actavis ceased their business.

I posted back in August about 100mcgm Accord/Actavis levothyroxine as I was feeling pretty awful. My Blood results showed that my T4 result was only 32% through range. Normally it would be around 65% through range. I also take 15mcgm Sigma Pharma liothyronine.

I last posted 18 days ago and FallingInReversevery kindly helped me get my thoughts in order. As a result of this I came up with a plan. For reference, my post is here: https://healthunlocked.com/thyroiduk/posts/151726625/next-t4-t3-step-grateful-for-advice You will see that the plan was to increase my

Hi Everyone, I am looking for some reassurance and guidance. I had a blood test in June 2024 that showed a high TSH level. This came about because of a trip to the doctor because of a delayed period and fatigue. I had also been worried that my hair was falling out. Please see results table below

Very brief post as I feel so awful and want to go to bed! Was on 125mcg thyroxine (not sure how to tag my last post to this one), dropped slowly (as advised on here) to 100mcg and am now having even worse heart palpitations than before! Could this be related? Drs appointment not until the 13th. I’ll

Hello, I was feeling terrible last year and the GP kept dismissing me. Then in desperation I pleaded for something to be done so I was sent for blood tests. A doctor telephoned and said my thyroid was hypo and to retest in 8 weeks. I did and they telephoned again and said my results were worse and due

I have done a silly thing I think and gone against the good advice of the experts (at my peril!) on here simply out of desperation from feeling so awful for so long and seeing my numbers go down despite increasing Levothyroxine. I have been taking T3 - a 25mcgs tablet cut up into a sixth so 1/6th of

After showing my test results from Medicare last year to my GP and he upped my Levothyroxine to 75 and 100 on alternate days. I did a Medicare test in February this year and readings have changed as follows:- TSH 5.6 (down from 11) Free T3 (up from 2.8) Free Thyroxine 22.1 (up from 18.1) I

Here is my copy of thyroid results and wld love to hear your inputs before I go and see private dr on Friday. At the min, I tend to feel sluggish in the evenings which I expect it's normal. I wld feel fantastic after taking t3 and crash again later. I take t3 5mg in the morning and 5mg of t3 at lunch

Hello. Can anyone explain why I get heart fluttering its at night in bed after taking Levo? I've tried looking in the search, I'm wondering if it's serious or an indication I'm on a too high dose or even too low as since I've took HRT TSH dropped quite a lot thanks 🌸

I don’t understand it. I’m on 2 grains Armour. But my FT3 and FT4 results are often in the 30%-40% range. TSH never low enough. But raising the dose makes me more tired. So I’ve been slowly adding Levo to the armour to see if I can get a reserve for conversion. I’ve gone up over many weeks, in 12.5mcg

had thyroid gland taken out 30yrs ago because of cancer now have to reduce dosage by 50mg a week because Tsh has gone out of range will I get withdrawal symptoms I also was told to try and keep to same brand of levothyroxine as this can change levels my chemist gives me different brands all the time

I’ve lowered from 125mcg to 75mcg. Been on 75mcg for around a week and a half ish. The last few days I can definitely feel the levothyroxine leaving my body. It’s around the 4 week mark so it’s about right with the half life of Levo. So if my theory is correct and my thyroid no longer has thyroiditis

I haven't been here in a long time but still struggled to get through each day but managed to get one my feet at least.Now I have crashed back to how I was years ago. After having excess amount of stress last year I could feel myself slipping back and then i caught the coughing / viral thing just after

Hi, following my post a few weeks ago I now have results of a blood test from MMH. Unfortunately, my first attempt was unsuccessful (not enough blood) so had to wait another week for pack etc. so, to recap Dec 24 my blood results at GP were TSH 0.008 (normal range 0.35-4.94) FT4 22.3 (normal range

Thank You In Advance For The Wonderful Members.I'm going to my Dr and have an afternoon appointment. That is the only time I can have an appointment and he draws the labs. My question is when to stop my Levothyroxine before my Wednesday afternoon appointment about 3pm? I stopped my B-Complex and the

Since reducing to 6/5mg on alternate days on the advice of my endo I am not feeling so good, more affected than I would expect to feel after only a 0.5mg drop, and I have noticed a low grade heavy ache returning to my shoulders and arms again.. I did wonder if my thyroid levels could have dropped as

Hello I am new to the hypothyroidism diagnosis and I have improved on Levothyroxine using the Tevo brand. I am seem to be OK with it although I have read here that many of you are not. I picked up my new prescription (they come in sealed bags) and when I got home I discovered it is the Crescent brand

Hello, I was hoping for a bit of advice regarding supplementing with zinc and magnesium to assist with getting a better night's sleep. I'm intending to take zinc 3 in 1 (41.7mg picolinate, 26.9mg citrate, 27.8mg clycinate and 2 mg copper) with magnesium 3 in 1 (1000mg glycinate, 400mg malate, 400mg citrate

Hi,I hope it's not a silly question. Can I still do a TPO test when I'm on levothyroxine or will this effect the results? Only been on medication for a week. Thanks
