Synthroid (Levo) causes anxiety?
Hi all, A few weeks ago, my doc prescribed me a different brand of levo I believe, and the color of the pills were pink (112mg), and since taking them I have constant panic attacks and random episodes of anxiety. I have had anxiety before with certain dosages but never this dose; I have also never taken

Will my thyroid levels ever balance out?
What happens if I just completely stop taking
synthroid
altogether?

I guess doctor had read tests wrong before and was decreasing my
synthroid
when it should have been increased so it was messing up my whole system. Luckily it didn't do more harm. He increased my dosage now and hoping that will take care of a lot of issues.

Labwork results help please
I have Hashimoto's and take 100 mcg of
Synthroid
and 5 mcgs of Cytomel (10 mcgs 2 days a week) and my recent blood results were as follows. The very low tsh scares me. Should it? I had been feeling excellent but I'm very tired lately.

More test results - help please
These are from 1/4 after starting
synthroid
@50mcg. 11/30. Cut back to 25mcg after 3 weeks due to loose bm's. Now taking .25/.50 mcg every other day. Is there anything that can be determined from the t3 test? Thinking about getting a free t3 test done by outside lab.

Is 15mg Armour enough?
My endo switched me from 50mcg of
synthroid
to 15mg of Armour. It costs a lot more to get and I'm noticing I've been having more decent days than usual.

Need help please
Then started on
synthroid
50mcg, three weeks later weight was holding. Started Armour a few weeks ago, maybe two weeks. Just checked my weight last week, then again today. I've lost 5 pounds in less than a week. Has ANYONE else experienced this before??? Anyone? This is getting scary.

Stop the Thyroid Madness........
-------------------------- Did you know that a poorly functioning thyroid, or inadequate treatment with T4-only medications like
Synthroid
, Levoxyl, Extroxin, et al, can be a factor in blood pressure problems? It’s true.

No better
I realize that I haven't been on
Synthroid
long enough. Also, I am 5'1 1/2" tall, and weigh 132 lbs. Need to lose about 15-20 lbs.

Baffled and swollen again;( Any ideas why??
After trying
synthroid
again had a horrible swelling reaction. Then tried armour...swelling as well. I was able to tolerate these meds in the past but not now. I was put BACK on 30 mcg of armour and my body adjusted without incident.

Noticing thinness of my hair
I take
Synthroid
, currently 100mcg. What is happening? What do I do about it??? It's starting to scare me. I dropped Levo because I just thought name brand might be better, but I've now seen discussion (not necessarily here) that say
Synthroid
made their hair fall out. Is this true?

Hello
I could not lose on
synthroid
and armour made me sick. I want to know if anyone has lost weight while taking wp thyroid or does it at least make it easier. I have not been able to lose a pound in 2 years. I eat a gluten free diet.
