Why am I still feeling so unwell? (requesting feedback on latest labs please)
I have been on 50 mcg of levothyroxine (
Synthroid
) daily since Dec. 6th. (Admittedly, I've been a bit inconsistent and often miss a dose or two each week).

Thyroid, Anxiety & my story
I got on the
synthroid
pill at 75mcg. Finally I got treated for my anxiety because my anxiety got really bad. At 22 finally my anxiety disappeared from therapy and a 4-week mindfulness program. It was amazing. I started working out again but not quite as comfortably as I knew I could.

Low free T4, TSH and T3 mid range
Should I increase
Synthroid
(50mg) and T3 (15mg)? I can post exact results soon … at the Doctors office now and hoping to guide her in the right direction.

Frustrated by thyroid
I’m on 125mcg
Synthroid
and down to no t3. Only been a week with no t3. But I feel very hypo. Labs are ft4 1.4 (.8-1.8) ft3 2.9 (2.3-4.2) I expected my ft3 to be higher. Do I need to wait longer than a week with no t3 med to see it come up?

Switching from Nature Throid to Synthroid
I was on Nature Throid for 4 years and just made the switch to
Synthroid
because I was having a lot of issues with heart palpitations and just never feeling good. I was on 81.25 mg Nature Throid and my doctor put me on 100 mg of
Synthroid
.

Apologies - Reposting my blood work properly
I am currently taking 50 mg of
Synthroid
and 15 mg of Liothyronine. I feel just “okay”. I have gained weight (10lbs.) and certainly not the energy levels I would hope to have.

Question
Does anyone notice a difference between
synthroid
versus levothyroxin? I've been on levo but dr wants me to try
synthroid
(name brand) to see if it helps move my numbers.

Proteinuria and Thyroid Both Rose Need some support.
My endocrinologist, also senior staff and the physician who found the protein spilling, had no explanation for an 8 point rise in my thyroid other than drug interaction and insisted I wait 3 hours between
synthroid
and cal mag...done. I eat kidney friendly..vegetarian and walk an hour a day.

Itchy throat
Taking
Synthroid
first thing in the morning seems to make my throat itchy, or I just feel a sensitivity there. Only on day three of beginning. Before that I tried taking generic
synthroid
for one day, but that made me feel real bad.

Fluctuating tsh
If my tsh was 6 after a stressful month before test does it warrant increase in
synthroid
? It happened to me one other time 5 years ago and after 3 months had to be lowered back to 100 mcg.

High thyroid antibodies and iron issues
To recap what I mentioned in my initial post, I was diagnosed in 2010 and currently take 75mcg
Synthroid
. In my bloodwork from 2 weeks ago, my TSH, FT3 and FT4 were good. My serum iron was really high, though. I was mainly concerned about my really long period cycles. I also had some hair loss.
