yes this can and should be expected, I hear this from so many, especially when they first start. Thyroid-s ... is this TSH or SRIPRASIT? after six weeks one would think the med should be working better and that you would be used to the side effects, this could mean that your body may need something else in order to get what it requires.

thanks for your reply what is SRIPRASIT ? and are you talking about T3 when you say i may need something else ?

Many thanks

As you are taking Thyroid-S, you might wish to know that it is manufactured by a company called SRIPRASIT.

Just came across this thread. Hope you are feeling better now.

Breathlessness when walking up stairs and hills (even 'easy' ones) and craving savoury/salty foods can be an indicator of impaired adrenal function, which often goes hand-in-hand with hypothyroidism. If you're still experiencing those symptoms, I'd suggest doing a saliva test to check your cortisol levels.
