Advice please on results
Hi. I've been on 150mcg of Eltroxin for c. 9 weeks. Around Christmas time I started to feel bad with some hypo symptoms returning. I also had, what I call 'adrenaline rushes' at bed time, which I had previously associated with high FT4, as they first happened when in Actavis 100mcg which pushed my FT4

Astounded! My GP here in Oz prescribed T3 for me without a fight.
So in my hand I have a script for 100
Tertroxin
tabs 20mcg. ‘On authority’ would’ve cost me $38.80 for 100 tablets which is 3 mths supply. But even without authority it’s just $76.60 for 3 months. Which is very reasonable indeed. I only wished I’d asked her months ago.

Hypothyroid crisis!!

Placed on Eltroxin 0.1 x 2 daily. Weight gain stopped but unable to lose anything. In 2015 meds changed to Euthyrox. Managed

How often to repeat vitamin level testing?
Hi, Can I ask how quickly vitamin levels can change. I had good results for B12 and folate 3 years ago, and doctor is saying it doesn’t need repeating. I have had 3 blood tests in the last 4 months and results all less than 5 but over upper limit of 4.4. So doctor has finally put me on 25mg Eltroxin

T3 expires in November...still effective?
I wanted to find out - I get my T3 (
Tertroxin
) from South Africa (works out to £47 for 6 months supply). The batch I have expires November 2017. I am going back to SA mid December and will be getting some more. Would the T3 still be effective until then?

Starting 2 grains compounded NDT and reduced Tertroxin to 60mcg at 4am tomorrow!!
So finally my prescribed NDT is ready and here’s hoping that this is a major step towards symptom-free living. Tonight I am aching all over despite regular paracetamol, my ears are ringing like cicadas at Christmas, as usual, I have a pie tongue (new symptom I found here, he he!), and I am utterly bone

Desperate to lose weight
I'm Gill from Cape Town, South Africa. Been on eltroxin for years.. Hypothyroidism. On New Formulation for a few months. 100mg. I'm so unhappy as I am overweight and can't drop any weight. I just want to be myself again. (I know I'm not alone in this struggle).

The many names of levothyroxine
This is an attempt to educate HU's artificial intelligence as to the many, many names of levothyroxine and T4 - around the world. I am quite certain there are many more especially outside Europe and in non-Latin scripts. Please just ignore it - if you are a human! :-) Accu-Thyrox Aку-Тирокс Berlthyrox
