I could only take TEVA brand of thyroxine,but they stopped making it,to my horror.
I have spent months trying different brands,all of them giving me nausea.
But I found WOCKHARDT brand and feeling great.
I thought I would share this ,as I know what it is like to feel so ill on many of the other brands.
Good luck.
What dose were (and are) you on?
As you will know, Wockhardt produce only 25 mcg tablets.

Help, after my TT on the 18th June , 50% of my tablets including my Activist levo 100...., I am only 4'11 and 8 stone by the way...., Amlodipine 10, Ramipril 10, Adcal with vitD, Lansaprozole , are sticking in my poor swollen acidic burning throat, this is keeping me awake night after night even after taking strong sleeping pills, I ended up in the putrid A&E after fainting 3 times and my ECG concerned the paramedics so much I was rushed there when I REALLY didn't want to go, because last time I was rushed there March 2012 instead of treating my very overactive Graves Disease they thought I was nuts and locked me up in the local nut house for a week and diagnosed me as Bi-Polar, the psychotic drugs they gave me after reading the leaflet about the side effects , I have GD, gallstones , high blood pressure, dodgy live function, very high stomach acid, ..I can't even bend down to do to by beloved gardening!,,,,without acid reflux , .. They are still in the box in my beside table, daren't give them back to the chemist as they'd want to know why I hadn't taken them. After looking at my burning acid throat,for the last 36 hours throat with just a torch thingy ,... There's nothing wrong with your throat... Your blood tests and ECG is normal, my head was pounding, my tinnitus was vastly worse than normal, neck had been pulsating until I yes I calmed myself with my beloved yoga relaxing app on my tablet, u know the 1 with the apple on it!!!! ... I was told to get dressed, go home , on raising from my lovely trolley for the night, I went dizzy, and nearly fell over... My right calf went into its usual spasm.... I told the doc , she said go home and wait to see your GP that you have pre booked to visit on THURSDAY !,,,, So no sleep until then ...why do. I bother........!,,,,, my sister told me 'I don't like you anymore , why are you so angry'.....well indeed such support from my very close family... I might as well be D--D, But the newly empowered Tish4 will not let this illness beat me, I will live my life to the full , I have never wanted and will not be a burden on anyone, I have always said that all my life....even if I have to do it alone , I never repeat never ever wanted to stress anyone out ,my mother never liked or supported me , I'm on marriage número 3 and very happy with my totally stressed out hubby... Been together 20 years and married last year because of my GD, wouldn't want the poor guy to struggle after my passing..... God bless you fellow sufferers .... Brick wall ...
Yes I've read lots of your stories and really understand what you are going through....
I'm empowered....I will not be beaten... I will live my life to the full,,, by the way I get my state pension in September .. Yipeeeeeeee xxx
Tish, post a question or a blog and more people will read & maybe be able to offer advise/support. Sending you my biggest cyber hug right now! xx
I had no problems at all with the Wockhardt I took for a while - chemist seems to have found another brand with 25 mcg this time.

The only other company that supplies 25 microgram tablets to the UK market is Amdipharm Mercury.

I take 125 Levo. They mixed it with Activis an Wockhardt. I told them the private Endo, a professor had told me to use the same brand.
Dr. prescribed TEVO. It no longer exists!
Chemist has got me 3 months supply of Mercury Phm.
What on earth is going on?
Actavis do not make a 2mcg tablet.
Teva was withdrawn from the market early last last (2012) because it was not delivering the full dose to patients. (25mcg Teva was always actually made by Mercury.)

It's as if they all belong to a little club and they want to dismiss us!
