synthroid
good morning all. I was wondering, 1 or 2 individuals have told me on here that a dose of 50 does nothing more than has your thyroid get lazy or stops working and you need at least 75 to do anything. I know tons of people whom only take 50 though. My tsh was never super high so that is why i wonder

Help with blood results, still don't feel better.
My TSH was 59.4 (Optimal = 0.40-3.50) and my Free T4 was 7.1 (Optimal = 9.0-19.0) I've just had another blood test after being on 75mg of the Australian equivalent to
synthroid
/levothyroxine for two weeks. And my most recent results are: TSH = 6.5 and Free T4 = 15.0.

Unexplained weight loss
(I was on
Synthroid
for 14 yrs. prior to beginning Armour. I switched because of the hair loss and lack of energy I was experiencing.) I have a script for bloodwork coming in the mail, so I should have results in a week or two to see where my current levels are.

Slow Thyroid
Synthroid
made me sick and mental. I've irdered Thyiod from Tiawan in hope of it working better. I mostly need to loose 30# as I am a bicyclist and the extra weight is killing my fun.

I lost over 40 lbs. too
I was taking
synthroid
for 14 years and couldn't lose weight. Then last October after doing a lot of research, I started taking Armour. By May I had lost 40 lbs.!! I did nothing else to cause the weight loss. But I, too have the same problem with sagging skin, it's awful.

Acne and T4 Thyroid Medication?
I've seen quite a few posts from people claiming that T4 thyroid meds like
Synthroid
/Levo has given them bad acne? One of my symptoms is acne but after two weeks on the Australian version of these T4 thyroid meds, my skin has gotten so much worse.

New dosage, feeling in a funk. Could it be that.
So as of June 06, 2016I started a new dosage of
Synthroid
. I was at 200mg when my new endo decided to bump it down to 150 , he said I was taking too much and sent me off for labs.

Waiting on labs...
I usually don't drink it til noon since I take my
synthroid
at 7am. My
synthroid
medication was recently changed, as I've posted in a previous post and won't be retested for another 3months.

Some positive synthroid/levothyroxine T4 improvement/success stories (especially for hypothyroidism)?
There seems to be loads of negative posts on the internet about the synthetic T4 hormone replacement medication. This probably isn't surprising seeing as the people that would be most likely to post on forums are the people for whom the conventional approach did not work. Was just wondering if anyone

Epidemic of assault on thyroid glands
I was put on
Synthroid
25mcg by my doctor; I was dog tired all the time. He wanted to increase my dose; I told him I am not going to let you shut down my thyroid with
Synthroid
. Each time you raise my dose you kill my thyroid making thyroxine for my body.

Hashimotos hypothyroid
I do have Hashimotis/ hypothyroidism and take
synthroid
for that. My blood work is showing my numbers are off. I am hoping that by getting the number right I will feel better. But these feelings are causing a lot of anxiety about thinking something is really wrong with me.

Help with test results please...
(these are from a Canadian lab) Background -I have been surprised by a dr ordering a FT3 test where I had taken my daily 150 of Levo (
Synthroid
) - a bit annoying as it's the first time I've had it tested!
