Experiences with

Levoxyl

Taking 100 levoxyl and 12.5 of liothyronine. Used the thyroid calculator for percentages below. Still not sure what optimal should be. Seems both of my T4 and T3 dropped. Any advice is welcome. Thank you. TSH - .544 Old results .33 - (range .450 - 4.50) = 2.32%. Increased.

So currently I am back on 94.5 mcgs of levoxyl and trying to add T3. Even 1.25 mcgs of t3 taken with food gives me symptoms. Increased anxiety, tight chest, woozy/off balance, emotional etc. I’ve been trying to take 1.25 four times a day but after a few days I feel fried.

I am taking 75mcg of T4 Levoxyl and doing well on it but I am still undermedicated. Instead of raising the T4, my doctor is starting me on T3 5mg. Because I am so sensitive to medication I've started with 2.5 of T3 for about a week and a half now.

Why lower the Levoxyl when my T4 is normal? 2. What is the cause of TSH being low? Is my pituitary gland not working? 3. Why double the Cytomel? Thank you for reading.

The Levoxyl T4 I took, 16 days. (did wait until I couldn't stand reactions anymore, could not function at all last few days) Felt better on this second try of Armour. I got a newer prescription, the 5th day.

Do I try 25mcg t4 Levoxyl that may cause the burning mouth, etc. or ask for higher dose 50mcg- or try another doctor to get Armor. (He doesn't like it, says it can be unreliable dose wise)

I wrote post earlier.. Allie323 with Hashis, finally-diagnosed 2012, with 20 years of symptoms gradually worsening and always normal blood except high TSH 5.4 Dec. 2019. Have 1/2-Partial thyroid. Benign nodule removed when 15 yrs old. 5 days on T4. I did 50mcg 2 days, got racing in chest, short breaths

I am currently on 88 mcg of Levoxil and 5 mcg of cytomel(genetic) based on the new results, should I keep the cytomel and reduce the Levoxyl? Here are the new blood results FT4 1.53(.85-1.76) FT3 4.2(2.3-4.2) TSH 0.01(.27-4.68). I should mention that I have osteoporosis. Thanks

I weigh about 78kg and can tolerate about 50mcg levo (as Levoxyl) per day, to which I add 10-20mcg T3 daily. If I raise my levo dose higher, I get anxiety and insomnia. This implies to me that T4->T3 conversion happens at a very slow rate.

I am currently on 88 mcg Levoxyl and 5 mcg Cytomel(generic). My Dr will NOT be happy with the TSH results. TSH .05 (0.27-4.68) FT4 1.26 (0.85- 1.76) FT3 3.8 (2.3-4.2). BW was done fasting and 8 hrs after dosing.

She is on 40 mgs of lasix, metoprolol, Eliquis, levoxyl, and magnesium. I don’t think her kidneys are operating well either. I know, it doesn’t appear good. I just know she is getting worse with all the fluid in her. She is all right for now or I would take her to the ER tonight.

I'm currently on 112mg of Levoxl 6 days week with 20mcg of T3 (i'm here in USA) I'm thinking of asking to have 100mg of Levoxyl 7 days a week + the T3. I don't think she'll go higher.

It all started with not feeling well my heart rate was really high along with all the other symptoms so I went to Dr and saw a APRN she done bloodwork and called and said my thyroid levels were off and prescribed me 100 mcg levoxyl and after about a week on this med my condition worsened and I found

Before I went back on Levoxyl, I was on a trial of 150mcg of Tirosint and 15 of t3 but I felt the T4 was not enough so I switched back over to Levoxy atl 200mcg. Should I have just added more t3 instead. I am kind of messed up and need some guidance.

I am taking NP Thyroid, and it seems better than with Nature Throid, but Levoxyl was HORRIBLE, even combined with Cytomel... My other symptoms include, weight gain, and puffy face and dry skin... TY!

Started Levoxyl 25ug - June 2018…… 8 weeks later blood tests results: Tested in morning, no medicine before (usually take Levoxyl in AM), and fasted.

I've been taken 125mcg of levoxyl. Recently they decreased my dose to 112mcg. My last results were TSH 0.108, T4, Free 2.14. I've been reading about T3 and wondering why my doctor never has mentioned another medication. What is the controversy about taking T3?

She started me on a low dose of Levoxyl 25mcg once a day and a blood follow up test in 6 weeks with a re-visit with her. I was happy to have some diagnosis after suffering low energy, brain fog, always cold, etc for many years.
