Experiences with

Actavis levothyroxine

I am taking 1 grain of Armour and 50mcg of Actavis Levothyroxine and generally feel well, apart from feeling puffed up and bloated. I take iron daily (away from other meds and calcium) and I take vitamin D spray and chewable Acidophilus. I avoid lactose and am fine with wholemeal gluten products.

My problem is, for the past 5 weeks I have been taking my Levothyroxine, thinking it was still Actavis, and wondering why my neck face and chest looked like it had been in a nuclear blast. I only get that when I take anything other than Actavis.

My pharmacist seems to give me any brand of levothyroxine that he can obtain. I see the names Actavis,Teva,Accord,Goldshield,Mercury Pharma and Northstar. I have tried to sort this out online but I cannot make sense of it. Please can anyone explain all this simply?

Two days ago I tried to order my repeat prescription online and it’s been changed to 25 mg and 75mg of levothyroxine instead of my usual 100mg (Almus/Actavis brand) .

I asked my GP to prescribe Levothyroxine for me. Used to use Actavis - I see this company has been bought out and is now Accord. Went to Boots to get my prescription and it was Accord which I see some site members have had problems with.

Could someone interpret my most recent bloods please? All dosing timings followed. I have been having monthly B12 shots, is it too high now? Is my t4 ok? I take 125mg Levo and 50mcg t3 and have done so for a while now. My gp just looks at my suppressed tsh. Thank you In advance.

Hi everybody. I have hashimoto, hypothyroidism, since 35 years. My thyroid has now shrunk to next to nothing. Since 2 years my dosage, that used to be perfect at half of a 175mcg of T4 tablets per day, went up to 175 per day, and doesn’t seem to stop going up. It’s a roller coaster ride. One out

Hi you lovely people, Once again, thank you all for the helpful responses to my last post. I was really overwhelmed by the help and support I received from you.

Feel free to check my previous posts for a bit of background. Friday was dreadful, I was totally dismissed by a GP from my surgery (not my usual doctor) who said my results were fine. The results in question: FT4 12.1 (12-22) TSH 1.82 (0.27 - 4.20) Anyway, I posted on a local forum asking for advice

Hi, I have just received the results of a private test and don't understand them, especially the relationship between the T3 and the Free T4. This is the first test for T3 that I have done. How can you tell if the ratio is good or if there are conversion problems? I have been taking Levo since 19 March
