Off of my Synthroid and Functioning Barely
Hello all! I have been taken off of my levothyroxine before I have my one-year full body scan (I am one year in remission from the thyroid cancer). I knew this would be a difficult transition for a few weeks but I did not realize how bad it would be. I can barely keep my eyes open, I am having chest

Chest pressure on Armour
My doctor put me on
Synthroid
50 mcg which I took until September 2017 when I switched doctors and was then placed on Levothyroxine 50mcg. I never noticed any difference or symptoms of having hypothyroidism besides hair loss.

Elevated Liver enzymes
In April I was retested and the lowered my
Synthroid
to 50. I was tested again this week and Dr upped my
synthroid
to 75 Monday - Friday and 50 on Sat Sunday but my AST was now 36 and Alt was 47 and they want me to come in on Monday. What could be the cause of the increase.

Synthroid

Cytomel Hyper Symptoms
Right now I take the Cytomel in the morning with the
Synthroid
, will it simply take time for my body to adjust or should I split the dose? I assume splitting it 12 hours apart would work?

LDN for Hashimotos & Other Autoimmune Issues
When I was about 30, my thyroid was found to be low and I was put on
Synthroid
. The doctor was hopeful this would help me with my migraine headaches, my achy legs and my general fatigue. I saw absolutely no difference. I'm 42 years old now.

Hashimotos and Major Issues
Been on
synthroid
. TSH been stable up until last six months. Went from 4.8 to 2.0 to 0.06 now back up to 8! I have only titrated doses between 25mcg to 75mcg. Feel horrible, see an endo in October. Thryoid ultrasound shows very small heterogenous thryoid with no nodules.

To T3 or not to T3? That is the Question.....
I am presently taking 100mg of
Synthroid
and intend to eventually go on the NDT. My TSH is 6.1(.4-4.5) and my Free T4 is .8(.8-1.7). Should I supplement the
Synthroid
with the T3 now? I am due for blood work in about 3 weeks.

Armour Thyroid without a Prescription
Levo and
Synthroid
do nothing, and my doctor just told me she won't prescribe it anymore ("it's archaic, dangerous, dosage is inconsistent"). I've looked everywhere, and the only places I can find nearby won't accept insurance, and I can't afford that! Help...? Thank you!!

Fired my endo
I am currently taking
Synthroid
.112. These results came back and I asked to get an RX for T3 based on being at the very low end of the range.

Get your thyroid checked.
(I already have an underactive thyroid and have been on
Synthroid
- not the generic - for about five years.) Sure enough, my thyroid is too low. Went to my GP who has bumped up my
Synthroid
from 100 mcg to 125 mcg. I've only been on the higher does for two days, but we'll see if it helps.

Overwhelmed and feeling lost with a TSH of 98 !
A few months ago I bought some
Synthroid
and have been taking that for the last 7 days, rather than the Levothyroxine dispensed by the pharmacist, hoping that this may be less harmful to me. I've read about Armour and the other natural versions, and they sound less likely to cause side effects.

Levothyroxine - generic or 'named' or T3
I know Eltroxin used to be prescribed in the UK - I think it has been withdrawn in favour of generic levothyroxines. https://www.restartmed.com/
synthroid
-vs-levothyroxine/ This is from TUK which many might find informative.
