Anyone else extremely hungry on Eutroxsig and how can I stop it?

I could eat a horse! Just started taking 50mg Eutroxsig for Hashimoto's and am so hungry. Even after I eat, I'm still hungry! Since I'd really prefer to be 10kg lighter, the hunger is not helping!

Hi Kdee

This appears to be an Australian preparation of levothyroxine... Please confirm if you are in the UK..?

There is an Australian based support group on HU...

healthunlocked.com/thyroidw...

Although it is mainly Cancer focused, there is more likely to be someone on your particular meds on there...

Thanks, but as there's only 28 members on the Australian one, I thought I'd have more luck asking the 11000+ people on this forum. Yes, it's levothyroxine by another name.

I'm on T3 only and I too suffer with the 'munchies '.....have to have loads of sensible nibbles to hand. I have more than 10kgs to lose. Eating every 3 hours is supposed to prevent sugar spikes - as many foods turn to sugar in the system....am always trying to be good. Go for the 80/20 rhythm !....

I have been on Eutrixsig 50mg now for 3 months and I can't stop the cravings for food, The doctor wants me to try Duromine but the cost for this tablet is expensive over $100. Not able to buy on a pension card so not sure what to do.
