Thyroid Medication Generating High Glucose Blood Levels
After my total thyroidectomy I was started on
Synthroid
. Immediately my Blood Glucose level increased and I once was considered pre-diabetic. The only thing the doctor said was “that happens with some folks.”

Is my FT4 too high to add T3?
She’s keeping me on the .100
synthroid
but moved me from 7 days to 5 days and two days to .88. I decided to split the T3 in half as I’m not sure how I’m going to react to it. My plans are to take my
synthroid
and a half of the T3 at my usual time, 6:30 am.

Switching between levo brands and adjusting the dose
I switched from levo to
synthroid
with same dose and almost immediately felt it was stronger since I felt hyper: had high heartrace and insomnia. I was supposed to take 37.5 for 5 days and 25 mg for two days.

Abnormal Thyroid Panel
I am on
synthroid
50mcg. My doctor has upped it to 75 but I'm afraid my FT3 will go over the high mark. My FT4 is above the mid point but not too much. Any thoughts? I have been on and off thyroid meds over the last 7 years. Somehow it has adjusted back to normal at various times. thks

What to do about T3 anxiety?
Started with 25mcg
Synthroid
, over a number of years settled on 80 mcg Levothyroxine compounded SR with 12 mcg Liothyronine. Had thyroid lobectomy in November 2021 and my new endocrinologist switched me to 88 mcg Tirosint and 5 mcg Cytomel.

Switching from levo to synthroid dose adjustment.
Does anyone here had problems switching from levothiroxine to
synthroid
? I started with the same dose and felt terrible heart racing, insomnia, nightmates. Felt better after reducing the dose, but now feel pins and needles all over my body.

Tirosint who have you used to get this prescription in the uk?
Has anyone uk based found a Dr or endo that can prescribe Tirosint or
synthroid
levo brands? I know by the list there are pharmacies that do prescribe it in the uk. I am just unsure who you go through to obtain this prescription?

7 weeks after partial thyroidectomy and request help with test and levo dosage.
Should I take the
Synthroid
, insist on the generic (which is cheaper) or wait and see if the other half of the thyroid can someday produce enough hormone? Before surgery the TSH was 2.5. This doctor considers anything up to 5 as normal.

Should you take T4 and T3 at the Same time of Day?
I started taking 5 mcg of T3 on 1 Oct along with my previously prescribed 100 mcg of
Synthroid
. Just had new labs done on 1 Dec and while my TSH lowered from 1.0 to .19 and my T3 and T4 levels are also lower. My RT3 went higher. I’m also having stomach issues and pain in the right flank.

Hypothyroidism
I have been taking
Synthroid
since 2008. I am still gaining and losing weight. Can't stabilize my weight. Can it be from Hypothyroidism.

Any Strategies For Controlling Blood Sugar While Taking Thyroid Meds
Switching to Tirosint-Sol for better absorption and yes unwise it was at a higher dose (
Synthroid
was 100 mcg and Tirosint and Tirosint Sol was 112). Now I have neuropathy, face flushing, and serum blood sugar levels between 93-99.

Is it hypothyroidism and not ADHD?
I had been diagnosed with hypothyroidism several years ago and was on
Synthroid
. I am not sure how it happened, but then I was told my thyroid "corrected" itself and no longer needed to be on it. At the time, I trusted my doctors and didn't know what I know now.

Living with congenital Hypothyroidism
I recently discovered that cow's milk suppresses levothyroxine/
synthroid
if you are from USA, from working correctly so I changed to lacto free or oat milk. I am now on 150mg of levothyroxine.

Update “sigh”
. : It certainly sounds like you have sufficient grounds to request either the brand
synthroid
or if that doesn't work well, a hypoallergenic product called tirosint.

In the mean time went gluten free. 2018: doctor thought I needed more T3 so aded 20mcg Cytomel to 75
Synthroid
and did not monitor my blood work - I became overmedicated for 8 months and very sick.

Tirosint and cytomel vs Synthroid and cytomel?
Any benefits, differences between tirosint and
Synthroid
? My labs are a little wonky, and idk if that’s due to the lactose/fillers in
Synthroid
, or the low FT3. I just filled an rx for the same dose as my
Synthroid
in tirosint and am a little scared to make the switch. Any good reviews?
