Extreme lightheadedness
I have been on
synthroid
, but nothing has seemed to help. I've found the lightheadedness gets worse when I eat pasta and breads. I tried gluten free for 9 months and no change. This lightheaded feeling has been constant and I haven't felt normal in 5 years.

Peculiar Recent Labs
Seeing the doctor this Saturday, most likely will stay on
Synthroid
100mg and repeat labs in 6 weeks. Will work on diet and exercise and avoid alcohol to help my liver, which I've read plays a big role in T4 to T3 conversion.

Concerned about Methotrexate
I take my
synthroid
when I wake up ... just trying to figure out a routine because I get very nauseous with most medications. Just super worried and have a high tolerance for pain if I should take it?? Please give me some guidance, I respect all opinions. Thank you, Geneen

Neck and chest palpitations when lowered thyroid dose
For 30 years I've been on
synthroid
(levothyroxin) ; most of those at 125 mcg. My doctor told me to lower it to 115. For 2 weeks now I've been on 115, and in the past week started have major palpitations, mostly in my neck, and vibrating to my chest.

Latest results have me puzzled … advice?
I am thinking that lowering the dose of
Synthroid
and slightly increasing the Liothyronine would be the next step? Thanks in advance for any help!

Continued high cortisol and testosterone!
I have read your posts and after a year of high liver alk phos was finally switched to Nature Thyroid as I think the
Synthroid
was storing up in my liver. But my cortisol and testosterone continue to be high on my saliva tests.

Lab Results: 16 Year Old With Multiple Red Flags
Myself, I'm 27 and I've had low B12 and Vitamin Deficiency that I'm treating, and take 100mg
Synthroid
. I've seen a similar pattern with my brother, and interestingly my mother's recent labs. There seems to be a genetic, familial link.

NDT's being done away with?
I have no clue about how it is in UK.... but in USA, Pharmacists, Docs, and drug companies have been trying to coerce people change to taking synthetic T4 only [like
Synthroid
], for well over 10 years.

Hasimotos TSH 247
They want to put me on a combo of
synthroid
and atenonol as a beta blocker. Has anyone tried that?

Newbie questions
A year and a half ago, I was diagnosed with under active thyroid, and have struggled with extreme fatigue ever since, even though they keep increasing my
synthroid
dosage. A couple months ago, I saw a rheumatologist, who told me my ANA was positive.

Latest Lab Results.
While my T4 and T3 didn't even move at 50mg
Synthroid
compared to 25mg, now it went up a bit. Can I expect the T4 and T3 to dramatically rise with dose increases or will the rise be a steady +4-5% every 25mg increase?
