Change of brand
For some time now I have been taking Levothyroxine but since changing pharmacies I have been offered the options of changing to either Synthroid or Eltroxin. Because I haven't felt much better on the Levo I have chosen to change to Eltroxin and am now wondering if I have done the right thing. Does

Changing from thyroxine (T4) to Thyroid S
Hi I stopped taking Eltroxin 3 weeks ago. I was great at first, got my life back but then the side effects kicked in, loose bowels, dry hair, spots, weight creeping back on & horrendous night sweats. I changed to Thyroid S. The weight is coming off, my skin is up & down, bowels are normal, still have

Replaced Levothyroxine for Thyroid S
Hi all Eltroxin was fantastic for me initially but after a couple of months my bowels were permanently loose, bad spots/acne, weight coming back on & terrible night sweats. After reading comments on this site & gaining knowledge I've bought Thyroid S & ditched Levo. I'm on day 12 now & feeling OK. I

Which T3 brand on NHS?
I have searched through past posts but can't really seem to find my answer. I am going to be given a trial on T3 as I don't feel well on T4 only (Eltroxin) and my levels fluctuate dramatically so my Endo has realised that there could be an issue as he has now seen my results fluctuate over the last

Bowel shutdown
Hay guys, Recently had my bowels shutdown on me, nothing seems to want to get things moving. Tried senna and now on laculose but seems to be welded shut. Energy really rubbish and hair falling out again. Didn't do well on Eltroxin and gp wouldn't give me any levothyroxine so have missed a few doses

Newbie with no Thyroid and fatty liver
Hi all, In 2010 I had radioactive iodine for nodules in the thyroid which were growing quite quickly and causing issues. My doctor said there wouldn’t be a lot of problems as I would just become a little,hypothyroid and it will be corrected with meds. A few weeks after treatment I began to pile on the

Tirosint
Hi all, my new gp has mentioned Tirosint as an option but is waiting to hear what my endo suggests after my four weeks on branded levo, Eltroxin which has gone terribly wrong as ive said in a former post so gone back onto 150mcg levo. My question is anyone tried this product and how they felt, side effects

Levothyroxine against NDT
Hi I was finally put onto 25mcg Eltroxin in December 2017 & started to feel wonderful, all symptons gone. Unfortunately, about 5 weeks ago my hot sweats returned day & night & now headaches, fuller stomach & breasts & some tiredness, so symptons are returning. Obviously, I need to increase my dosage
