Confused about levo and synthroid
My doctor change me from Levothyroxin to brand name
synthroid
about a month ago. I was taking levo 112 mcg and he change it to
synthroid
brand name 112mcg he says some ppl don’t tolerate the levo being a synthetic and some do better on brand name. Any light on this?

Synthroid Brand versus Generic
For years I had taken
Synthroid
brand . Three months ago I switched to a generic version due to the rising cost of the
Synthroid
Brand (Also added generic T3). I am feeling as if the generic version is not as effective as
Synthroid
brand. Does anyone share similar experience?

new labs and Synthroid dose
I have been on
Synthroid
since January. Most of my symptoms are gone, except for the anxiety. It's a constant restless, nervous energy feeling, especially in the morning. Last week, my dr. raised my
Synthroid
dose because my TSH is still really high.

adjustment to Synthroid increase
I have recently increased my
Synthroid
dose from 75 to alternating 75/100 doses (I'm only 4 days in the increase). When you increase
Synthroid
, is there an adjustment period for your body to get used to it? My anxiety had calmed down a little on just the 75, but now it is back full force.

Insomnia on CellCept? Sleeping pills that helped?HELP
I am also revved up during the day and have anxiety(it is not psychological or shall I say my baseline anxiety increased 4-5x since taking cellcept) I also take plaquenil,
synthroid
and enalapril(for the nephritis). I started doxepin 10mg HS with my PCP but it really isn't helping.

FEELING DEFEATED, AM I REALLY OVERMEDICATED???
Started out on 125 mcg
synthroid
, taken @ 6am, following all the suggestions of the valuable people on this site. Four weeks after surgery I saw an Endo who immediately looked at my suppressed tsh (0.05) and dropped my fuse to 112 mcg.

Does Eltroxin linger in your body?
I have since tried 2 additional brands of T4 licenced in NZ;
Synthroid
and Mercury Pharma. Both of these have me the palpitations also, which I thought strange. I managed for 2 weeks on T3 only, but my supply ran very low as I was taking 60 much/day.

Weak shaky legs anyone
I have had them for several years now and thinking back they started around the time my
Synthroid
was reduced from. 125 down to 75. In two stages. Not all at once but within a month or so of each other. Don’t have a clue why. Some damn drs idea probably based on TSH numbers.

Opinions on med dose please
I’m to take 30mg to replace the 75 mg I am currently taking of
Synthroid
. Does this sound about right? My TSH IS 3.61(0.32-5.04) Thanks in advance.

Desiccated thyroid users only please
What I am interested in is anyone’s experience that was on a med like
Synthroid
( I forget what they are called. Levox something) and switched to a desiccated thyroid. Was it a good choice to switch or not. Thanks.

Help a Canadian sufferer please
I have been in
Synthroid
for years and feel like crap. Time to try a natural thyroid med. I have a couple of questions. What is a grain? I’ve never heard of that when referring to doses. Also, does anyone know what the equivalent is to 75mg of
Synthroid
?

Adrenal question
Another good thing is if this doesn’t work out, she can and will up my
Synthroid
dose which my GP refuses to do. My (daily) question is what do you out there think about me having my adrenals tested? It costs 130 British pounds so not cheap but if it helps it’s worth it.

Is it in my head
I’m still convinced it’s the
Synthroid
. I’m med intolerant to most meds so why not this one. I find got a prescription for Thyroid. I pick it up tomorrow. Won’t relax until it’s in my hand. I’m not a person who wants attention and this is a way to get it.
