Trade my Levothyroxine for Eltroxin with Hashimoto's?
Hi Everyone, hope you all had a wonderful Christmas! I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's around 5 months ago and was put on, first 100mcg Levothyroxine and then 75mcg (because of terrible heart palpitations and a feeling of anxiety, it's still there mind you, the reduction in meds did not help). I have

Nausea with increaased eltroxin?
Hi all, I increased my dose of eltroxin by 25mcg this week. I feel good on it apart from feeling quite nauseous and having some diarrhoea. I thought it was just due to my period but it has continued. I'm guessing it's a sign that it's working. I'm sure others have experienced this. Will it settle?. I

Eltroxin Solution Shortage
Thyroid UK has been informed by AMCo that there is a stock shortage of their 50mcg and 100mcg Eltroxin solution. They hope that these dosages will be in stock after Christmas but it may not be..... http://goo.gl/bY6nem

Test Results Back! Looking for some advice to see if I'm on the right track. Any help would be appreciated as I feel quite lost at moment :)
I have Hashimoto's and am Hypothyroid. I was on Eltroxin for Hypothyroidism for roughly 10 years and generally felt in good health. In the last year I became quite ill and had all sorts of symptoms, was finally diagnosed 6 months ago with Hashi's and was put on 100mcg Levothyroixine. In these past 2

Would like to know the components of Eltroxin 100mcg so I can find the same in Levothyroxine. Have taken Levo in the past,
lots of different brands and always became ill. I think it is the Lactose in the generic brands that upset my system. I cannot think of an easier way of achieving status quo.

Hair thinning and heart rate slower since change from Eltroxin to Levothyroxine
Like a lot of people on here, I was changed from Eltroxin to Mercury Pharma generic levothyroxine about 6 months ago. I thought I was tolerating the change quite well but have recently noticed that my heart rate has dropped from 80+ to low 70s and my hair is a lot thinner. I've always had thick hair

Which Levothyroxine & Liothyronine brands can be prescribed in the UK in addition to Eltroxin?
I'm surgically hypothyroid post ThyCa. I unilaterally stopped taking Mercury Pharma generic Levo in Sept, substituting with Mercury Pharma Liothyronine which I stopped taking 4th November. The result is amazing. I feel the best I've been since thyroiditis onset late 2010. So many debilitating and

Eltroxin Supply Problems
I've been on Levothyroxine since January, on such a miniscule dose, it's hardly worth it - I feel absolutely poo and finally convinced the Endo to increase the dose. She did reluctantly 'up' my dose to 100mcg. On the advice of my mother, I asked to try the branded thyroxine rather than the generic to

Have dieted for most of these yrs. before I became hypo I was 9 st I think I had for 9 yrs before being diagnosed and had put on a stone. Now 27yrs later I am 12 1/2 stone and I hate

Entertaining episode at the pharmacy yesterday over dispensing of brands
Yesterday I handed in my prescription for 56 x 100, 50 and 25 levothyroxine - I take 100mcg 4 days a week and 75mcg the other 3. Very quickly my name was called out and a lady asked me if I had 5 minutes to review my medication etc. I went into the interview room and she pulled up my records and asked

Got my results from my GP. Does any think my TSH is a bit low.
I would appreciate your comments, Serum free T4. 21 pmol. (9.0-25) Is this too high? Serum TSH. 0.68 mui/L. (0.3-5.0). Is this low? Serum free triiodothyronine. 4.2 pmol/L. (3.5-6.5). Unfortunately I had my bloods done 3hours after my meds. Eltroxin 100/125 alternately

REQUEST TO SEE ENDO
I had an appointment with my GP this morning to find out results of blood tests and to ask for a referal to see an Endo. My T4 was 15.4 (6.3 - 14.0) and TSH 1.88 (0.3 - 5.6). About 6 weeks ago my FT3 was 4.3 (.3.1 - 6.8). My T4 has constantly been at the top and FT3 (when taken - mostly privately
