How Adrenals Can Wreak Havoc
that way within a hour after you get up Here’s a potential reason why: If you were … -hypothyroid for several years before being diagnosed (either because no one understood, or your doctor kept using the TSH and saying it was normal) -if you have been on T4-only medications like Synthroid,

price difference between T3 and T4
Cytomel 25mcg 100 $189.82
Levoxyl
25mcg 100 $31.76 That is a factor of ~6 difference. Does anyone know if the diff is due to liothyronine synthesis really being more difficult/expensive, high cost of low-volume manufacturing, or just BigPharma greed?

T3 Only
I'm currently on 150mcgs of
Levoxyl
, so I'm trying to figure out how much T3 I'll take and what the process is. I'm very nervous to make the switch without a doctor's supervision, but they have been completely useless in getting me to feel better so far.

Stop the Thyroid Madness........
-------------------------- Did you know that a poorly functioning thyroid, or inadequate treatment with T4-only medications like Synthroid,
Levoxyl
, Extroxin, et al, can be a factor in blood pressure problems? It’s true.

Urine flow issues with decrease in dose?
Hi All, Two weeks ago I decreased my
Levoxyl
dose by 25mcgs. I have felt better overall, and think this lower dose is an improvement for me – BUT for the last week I have been having issues with my urine. The flow has been greatly decreased, and I feel like I can't fully empty my bladder.

Lowering Dose -- Levoxyl
Here are my last test results after 9 weeks on
Levoxyl
150mcgs: TSH 1.260 (0.450 – 4.5) FT4 1.71 (0.82 – 1.77) FT3 3.5 (2.0 – 4.4) Everyone told me these numbers are great... but I don't feel great. I have no energy, and I can't lose a single pound.

Levoxyl (Eutirox), anyone able to clear up their Myxedema on this?
I've been on
Levoxyl
for 3 weeks. Started off on 25mcg the 1st week. Been on 50mcg for past 2 weeks. I'm hoping this will clear up my severe Myxedema (general edema). Anyone else have any luck returning to normal size on this med?

Pfizer and Allergan
🚑 Pfizer own the
Levoxyl
brand of levothyroxine - number 2 in the USA. What does this all add up to or those of us who need thyroid hormones? I don't know - but I would be surprised if, in one way or another, it doesn't end up with more dollars in Pfizer's pockets and fewer in ours.

New Labs – Good Numbers, But Still Not Feeling Well
These labs were done after 7 weeks on 150mcgs on
Levoxyl
: TSH 1.260 (0.450 – 4.5) FT4 1.71 (0.82 – 1.77) FT3 3.5 (2.0 – 4.4) I think I've lost a pound or two in water weight, but I'm still very tired (especially upon waking) and I'm having pretty serious lower-back

Feeling Miserable on NDT/Levo, at my wit's end, please help me:
Started on 150
Levoxyl
with Cytomel and switched to Synthroid, ultimately to Tirosint 137 which I just never felt good on. July I started Naturethroid an a month ago added in 25 mcg levo to my 2 grains of NT.

How long for symptom relief on NDT?
I'm on 75mcgs
Levoxyl
+ 2 Grains WP Thyroid. Here are my latest labs: TSH 0.73 (0.5 – 4.8) FT4 1.25 (0.82 – 1.77) FT3 3.5 (2.0 – 4.4) My doctor really liked these results. Indeed, they are some of the best results I've ever had ON PAPER.

Hyperthyroid since 13 years old
Taking .05 of
Levoxyl
, stayed in low of normal range until 2005 tested 17.69. Put me on Synthroid .0725. Stayed normal until 2010 TSH levels started going hypo, 6.27. On 2-24-2011 I stopped all meds including Synthroid. 4-22-11 TSH 60.78. My Thyroid uptake was normal.

Weight Gain With Dose Changes
This prompted me to switch doctors, and I'm now with a doctor who has me on a combo of
Levoxyl
and NDT (in the form of WP Thyroid). My question is: Why with every dose change does fluid retention worsen? Is it common for things to get much worse before improving?

New to NDT Only – WP Thyroid
I have been taking WP Thyroid in combination with
Levoxyl
for a couple months now – symptoms improved somewhat, but fluid retention wouldn't subside. The doctor wondered if I wouldn't do better just dropping the
Levoxyl
– so I did almost two weeks ago. At first, I felt pretty great at 2 3/4 grains.

Switching from combo T4 + NDT to straight NDT
I missed a dose of
Levoxyl
and within two days, five pounds of fluid flushed out. That led me to try out NDT only, which is what I am experimenting with now.

Challenges in Thyroid Hormone Therapy: Why Is It So Complicated?by Holtorf Medical Group
The tendency is usually to prescribe Synthroid,
Levoxyl
or another brand name or generic form of levothyroxine, and then write off any unresolved symptoms as unrelated to the thyroid problem, as a consequence of poor lifestyle choices, or even, as a somatoform disorder, also known as a psychosomatic
