Has anybody tried wockhardt levothyroxine?
I can only get along with Eltroxin or Mercury Pharma. Levothyroxine. It is impossible where I live to get either of these at the moment. Today I was offered Wockhardt, which I have never heard of. My prescription stated Mercury Pharma. but the pharmacist here is hopeless and very offhand. I would

Been referred to an Endo after 4/5 years of feeling awful with my under active thyroid...
I went to see our nurse at the doctors today for more blood tests, I had bloods taken 6weeks ago as my TSH had gone up to 31. My meds were increased from 125 to 175 of Eltroxin. In those 6weeks I had 17 wonderful days of feeling well and human again. After those first few weeks I was back to how I was

Please help!
I was diagnosed with autoimmune hypothyroidism about 8 years ago, although have had symptoms for as long as i can remember. Ive been on varying levels of eltroxin since. Currently I feel so bad, hair loss, no sleep, dizzy, blurred vision. I am on my highest dose of eltroxin and feel the worst I've ever

No more Eltroxin - bad reaction to generics. Can anyone help?
Hello, I was diagnosed with myxoedema in the early nineties, and a couple of years ago was switched to Etroxin brand levothyroxine (requested by doc on repeat prescriptions) because I was having problems with the generics; racing heartbeat, lack of sleep, etc. That was fine until recently when it became

Hi all I have an under active thyroid and my eltroxin has been increased from 125 mg to 175 mg as my TSH went from borderline to over 31.
My question is I am now on day 4 of the increased dose and have been feeling back in the land of the living again which is fantastic, I have so much more energy and haven't felt the need to have my usual 2 hour a day sleep. I was just wondering if how I have been feeling is purely psychological or is

Eltroxin no longer being produced
I know there was an issue regarding being able to obtain Eltroxin (beginning of the year) but I was advised yesterday that it isn't being produced at all any more. Has anyone else been told this please? Many thanks Liz [i] Edited by admin to list in the FAQ category [/i]

Exercise is recommended but walking for a half hour leaves me spent out taking days to recover. How can I surmount this problem ?
Most times I just do not want to get out of bed. I am only on 25mcg Eltroxin for about a month now and am prescribed this for another two months. After this I return to a GP who is of the "send them off with anti-depressants" type. Definitely not the up to date Thyroid type.

Well I go to the foot of our stairs.....
or, for fear of sounding too much like Victor Meldrew, I just don't believe it. How simple can a medication review at the GP's be, you make an appt, you turn up at the appt, you discuss what meds you are on and at what level - in my case I informed the GP that I had reduced my T4 down to 112.5mcg's

I am exasperated by all I hear on this complaint. Question is simple.... is it safe to take eltroxin or not ?
And are there any alternative treatments out there i.e. Acupuncture etc. ?
